Ford recalls over 238,000 Explorers to replace axle bolts that can fail_我的网站
一 | DETROIT -- Ford is recalling more than 238,000 Explorers in the U.S. because a rear axle bolt can fail, potentially causing a loss of drive power or allowing the SUVs to roll away while in park.The recall comes after U.S. safety regulators opened an investigation into the problem after getting two complaints that repairs didn't work in two previous recalls this year and in 2022.Affected are certain Explorers from the 2020 through 2022 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in documents posted Friday on its website that the rear axle horizontal mounting bolt can fracture and cause the driveshaft to disconnect, increasing the risk of a crash.Dealers will replace a bushing and the rear axle bolt. They also will inspect the rear axle cover for damage near the bolt hole and replace the cover if damage is found. Owners will be notified by letter starting Nov. 6.Ford said in documents that it knows of 396 reports of rear axle bolt failures, and fewer than 5% caused loss of power or let vehicles roll while they were in park. The company says it’s not aware of any crashes or injuries. NHTSA opened its investigation in June after getting complaints alleging loss of power due to failure of rear axle bolts even though the Explorers had received repairs under the previous recalls. Ford's remedy was to update software that automatically applied the parking brake to keep the vehicles from rolling away. But the agency said in documents that there was no remedy addressing the failed axle bolt. Ford said Friday that it was replacing axle bolts under service campaigns before the latest recall.。北京时间1月11日晨报,《华尔街日报》今天发表文章称,苹果(以下简称“苹果”)正在彻底改变公司战略,准备在其坚实的花园墙上打几个洞。多年来,苹果无与伦比的用户体验主要是通过将软件和服务与硬件捆绑在一起实现的。在今年的CES展上,很明显苹果准备尝试一些不同的东西。三星周一宣布,苹果的iTunes软件将在三星的智能电视上发布。从今年春天开始,三星智能电视将提供iTunes电影和电视节目,并支持苹果的无线标准AirPlay2,允许内容通过iPhone和其他设备直接传送到这些电视上。
