Ford Explorer recall:More than 238,000 Ford Explorers being recalled due to rollaway risk: See affected models

Ford recalls some 2020-2022 Explorer SUVs

Ford is recalling 238,364 of its 2020-2022 Explorer vehicles because the rear axle horizontal mounting bolt may fracture and cause the driveshaft to disconnect. A driveshaft that is disconnected can cause the drive power to stop. It can also result in a vehicle rollaway if the parking brake is not on. Both scenarios can increase the risk of a crash, according to a NHTSA report.

Recalled vehicles:

• 2020-2022 Ford Explorer

The subframe bushing and rear axle bolt will be replaced by dealers. Dealers will also look at the rear axle cover for any damage near the bolt-hole location and replace a new cover if necessary. This will all be free of charge. Notification letters will be mailed on Nov. 6, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-8669-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23S55.

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 5,326 of its 2022-2023 AMG SL55 and AMG SL63 vehicles because the starter and alternator electrical wiring harness may not be in the right place, according to an NHTSA report. This can cause a short circuit and a loss of drive power, which may cause the harness to overheat. This can either increase the risk of a crash or increase the risk of a fire.

Recalled vehicles:

• 2022 & 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG Sl55
