Ford recalls over 387K SUVs over unstable second-row seats

Summary by The Minneapolis Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Daniel Miller, FOX 9 KMSP (FOX) · July 22, 2026 · 1 min read

Ford’s latest recall affects certain 2020-2027 Aviator and 2020-2026 Explorer SUVs, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Why this matters in The Minneapolis

Minneapolis drivers who own certain Ford SUVs should be aware of the latest recall, which could impact their daily commutes. The recall of over 387,000 vehicles, including 2020-2027 Aviator and 2020-2026 Explorer models, raises concerns about the safety of local families and road users. With many Minneapolis residents relying on SUVs for transportation, particularly in areas with harsh winter conditions, the potential for unstable second-row seats to cause accidents is a pressing concern. As the recall process unfolds, local Ford dealerships will likely play a key role in notifying affected owners and performing necessary repairs. Minneapolis residents who own these SUV models should check their vehicles' status and schedule repairs promptly to ensure their safety on the road. The city's roads, already congested during rush hour, will be safer once these defective vehicles are repaired.
