2018 FORD EDGE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Ford Edge has 8 recalls, with the most serious being a fire risk from power supply cables at the starter and alternator that may not be properly secured and can arc electrically, and a separate powertrain failure where the torque converter can detach from the engine and leave the vehicle unable to move. Both the brake hose recalls also carry serious consequences. The rear brake jounce hose can rupture and leak brake fluid, and the front brake hoses can also rupture prematurely, either of which extends stopping distances and raises the risk of a crash. These brake concerns affect both front and rear circuits, so a failure in either location reduces overall braking capability. The remaining two recalls both involve door striker bolts that are shorter than intended. In a crash, a door held by an undersized bolt may swing open, increasing the risk of occupant ejection or injury.
