Ford officials revealed the SUVs could have a fractured section of the rear suspension toe link. That can significantly diminish steering control and increase the risk of a crash.

The company is aware of 13 crashes and six injuries linked to the issue.

Dealers will complete an inspection and replace the part, if necessary, Ford said.
