Automobile major Ford Motor Company has confirmed that it has issued a recall for nearly 117,000 vehicles to fix certain safety issues.
The massive recall affects Ford F-150 pickup trucks, Escape and Lincoln MKC SUVs in addition to E-Series vans. The company revealed that the vehicles have been recalled to replace improperly tempered bolts in their seats as well as seatbelts.
