Ford recalls 435,000 vehicles

In the latest of a series of recent recalls by big auto makers, Ford Motor Co. announced two recalls affecting some 435,000 vehicles.

The bigger recall impacts 386,000 Escape SUVs built between 2001 and 2004, according to CNNMoney. A corrosion issue with the vehicles' subframe could potentially lead to diminished steering control.

Most of the recalled vehicles are located in 20 states - including Missouri - and the District of Columbia, where road salt is used throughout the winter.

The second recall affects 48,960  Ford Fusions, Escapes and C-MAXs, and Lincoln MKZs. The company says the vehicles have seat back frames that don't conform to safety standards, increasing the risk of injury, cNNMoney reports.
