Recalls from Ford, Dorel China America, Sumitomo, Mazda

Ford Motor Company is recalling specific 2019 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles as the rear suspension toe link fasteners may not have been corrected tightened to its frame. This would possibly allow separation from the frame, which increases the risk of injury to those in the vehicle.

Dorel China America, Inc. is recalling specific Babideal Storm Booster car seats with model number BC901BPXL that were sold at Family Dollar locations. Since the label attached to the fabric cover may not have the required safety warnings or instructions, the item fails to complay the the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMBSS) requirement 213, “Child Restraint Systems.”

Ford Motor Company is also recalling specific 2019 Edge vehicles, as the driver-side seat belt pretensioner anchor could have been improperly crimped. This would result in the seat belt webbing detaching from the anchor in the event of a crash.

Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. is recalling certain Falken ZIEX CT50 A/S tires: size P255/50R20 104V, with date code 1619; Dunlop SP Sport 5000 tires: size 215/45R18 89W with date code 0919; and Goodyear Eagle LS2 tires: size P215/50R17 90V, with date code 0619. The issue with these recalled items is an incorrect rubber compound being used in manufacturing, which could allow sections near the tread surface to become partially detached.

Mazda North American Operations is recalling certain 2007-2012 CX-7, CX-9, and 2009-2012 Maza6 vehicles. Their passenger frontal air bag inflators were previously replaced under a prior recall using inflators of the same design. The inflators in question may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high temperature, humidity, and temperature cycling.
