WASHINGTON — Ford Motor Company issued safety recalls Tuesday for nearly 1,900 brand-new Lincoln Continental cars with potentially faulty turn signals and about 59 Ford Edge SUVs that may have been updated with the incorrect anti-lock braking system software.
The Lincoln recall affects 1,876 2017 Lincoln Continental vehicles built at the company’s Flat Rock Assembly Plant between June and September, Ford said in a news release. The vehicles’ headlamps may need to be replaced to correct an issue with cars’ turn signals.
The company said dealers will inspect and replace headlamps if necessary for free.
Also, Ford said approximately 59 Ford Edge vehicles may have had incorrect braking software uploaded when owners brought their vehicles in for service. The incorrect software could disable electronic stability control, engine torque control, traction control and some light indicators on the dashboard, the company said.
The recall affects Ford Edge vehicles built at the Oakville Assembly Plant between February 2015 and August 2016.
If you have a 2015-2016 Ford Edge and you had your car serviced between Aug. 6 and Sept. 28, Ford said your vehicle may be affected.
Dealers will replace the ABS control module or update the software for free.
Ford said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with either recall.
