In 2012 and 2014, Ford issued technical bulletins to dealers to alert them of complaints regarding ‘an exhaust odor in the vehicle’. Photo: AFPNew York: Seven years worth of Ford Motor Co.’s most-popular SUV model are a step closer to recall in the US over mounting reports of exhaust fumes leaking inside. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has taken an interim step toward prompting the recall of 1.3 million 2011-2017 Ford Explorers, including 2016-2017 Explorer Police Interceptor models, according to a posting on the agency’s website. Some cases included complaints of nausea, headaches and loss of consciousness, all symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. Ford contended that aftermarket modifications were responsible for any carbon monoxide exposure in that incident, and the Auburn police later agreed in a statement on Facebook.
