A putative class-action lawsuit filed in federal court in Newark claims a design defect in certain Ford Explorer, Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX models allows carbon monoxide to enter the passenger compartment.
Ford has known of the defect since 2012 but has not warned owners to get it fixed, the suit alleges. The automaker issued two technical safety bulletins to dealers about the problem but never notified owners despite the safety hazard it presents, the suit claims. Ford has attempted to fix the problem on customers’ vehicles with a variety of remedies but none have proved effective, according to the suit.
