Ford has issued its 57th recall of the year. This time, it's for 288,314 SUVs with roof rail covers that might detach.

The recall affects certain 2016-2019 Explorer SUVs, some of which Ford previously repaired. The vehicles previously fixed received "technician-sensitive" repairs, which basically blames techs for incorrectly repairing vehicles.
