Ford is recalling about 465,000 cars and SUVs because the fuel tanks can leak and cause fires.
The global recall affects the Ford brand’s Fusion, Explorer, Taurus, Flex, Police Utility and Police Interceptor. Also covered are the Lincoln MKS, MKT and MKZ. All the vehicles are from the 2013 model year.
Ford says customers could smell gas or see a leak on the ground. The company says no fires or crashes have been reported because of the problem.
About 390,000 of the vehicles are in the U.S., with another 23,000 in Canada and 7,600 in Mexico. The rest are in Europe, South America, Asia and other areas.
