AP Top News｜福特汽车因2016至2017款探险者（Explorer）的车门装饰在行驶过程中可能会脱落，召回了近五十万辆该车型

WASHINGTON (AP) Ford is recalling nearly half a million older Explorer models because part of the door trim can detach while driving and cause a dangerous road hazard, U.S. auto safety regulators said Wednesday.

A notice posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the recall covers 492,145 Ford Explorers, model years 2016-2017. The vehicles were produced between June 11, 2015 and April 19, 2017.

Ford Motor Co. first recognized the problem as far back as 2019, but did not consider it an unreasonable risk to safety, the NHTSA report said. In March of this year, the NHTSA shared with Ford dozens of vehicle owner reports of the problem, leading Ford to further investigate it, eventually leading to the recall.

Ford concluded that lack of proper adhesion was causing the trim to loosen, adding that it is unaware of accidents or injuries related to the defect.

The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker expects to start sending notification letters to owners on June 9.

When a remedy to fix the faulty part has been determined, owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicles into a Ford or Lincoln dealership to have the trim fixed at no cost.

The NHTSA recall number is 25V347 . The manufacturers recall number is 25S53.

华盛顿（美联社）——美国汽车安全监管机构周三表示，福特公司正召回近50万辆老款探险者车型，因为车门饰条的一部分在行驶中可能会脱落，造成道路危险。

美国国家公路交通安全管理局（National Highway Traffic Safety Administration）发布的一则通知称，此次召回涉及2016至2017年款福特探险者（Ford Explorer）共计492,145辆。这些车辆的生产日期为2015年6月11日至2017年4月19日。

美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）的报告称，福特汽车公司早在2019年就意识到了这个问题，但并未将其视为“对安全的不合理风险”。今年3月，NHTSA向福特汽车公司分享了数十份关于此问题的车主报告，促使福特进一步调查，最终导致了召回。

福特公司得出结论，认为缺乏适当的附着力是导致装饰件松动的原因，并补充说，公司并不了解与此缺陷相关的任何事故或伤害。

总部位于密歇根州迪尔伯恩的这家汽车制造商预计将于6月9日开始向车主发送通知信件。

当确定了一种修复有缺陷部件的补救措施后，车主将通过邮件被通知，并被告知将车辆开到福特或林肯经销商处免费进行修理。

国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）的召回编号为25V347，制造商的召回编号为25S53。
