Recall Alert: Ford Recalls 80,000 Trucks

In the spectrum of recalls, there are potential fires on one end and minor fixes on the other. Today’s recall alert falls more on the minor-fix end than the is-something-burning one: Ford is recalling 100,000 2008 F-Series trucks in the U.S. and Canada to fix a weld between the driver’s seat back and a bracket, which has reportedly been cracking. Those cracks make the truck non-compliant with federal regulations for seat-back strength.

Ford will notify owners of the trucks — about 80,000 in the U.S. — later this month.
