Ford Motor is recalling 79,781 vehicles in the United States that may experience detachment of interior panels near the front doors and rear light failures, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall affects more than 14,000 F-150 Lightning BEV pickup trucks due to faulty rear lights and over 64,000 Ford Flex vehicles because of a door panel defect.
