Ford to recall more than 548,000 US vehicles over defective center console

Ford is recalling 548,463 vehicles in the United States over an issue with the ‌center ⁠console, ⁠the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Thursday.

The issue relates to ​the console's chrome plating, which may bubble and peel over ​time, potentially resulting ⁠in sharp ‌edges. Passengers who ​come in ​contact with these ⁠edges face an increased risk of injury, ​the regulator said.

The recall, which affects certain 2018-2024 Ford Expedition vehicles, may have been caused by the center console chrome trim that ‌was manufactured by a supplier using parameters that did not meet ⁠Ford specifications, the NHTSA said.

As a remedy, the dealers will inspect ​and replace the center consoles as necessary, free of charge, per the regulator.
