Recall Service & Dealership Highlights
Safety Concerns
NHTSA recall information identifies two safety concerns for the 2019 Ford Edge. Missing or loose bolts at the transmission start/stop accumulator endcap may allow fluid to leak, potentially leading to loss of transmission function and increased fire risk if fluid reaches an ignition source. A separate seat belt recall involves a driver-side pretensioner anchor that may have been improperly crimped, allowing the webbing to detach in a crash and increasing the risk of injury. Waiting can leave an open safety issue unresolved. Contact our team promptly for a free VIN check and no-charge manufacturer remedy.
