Ford recalls 180,000 SUVs, vans to fix door and fuel hose problems

"Ford Motor Co. said today it was recalling more than 180,000 sport utility vehicles and vans in two separate recalls to fix interior door handles and faulty fuel hoses.

The larger of the two recalls involves nearly 124,000 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs from the 2007-08 model years. The Dearborn-based automaker said the spring system in the inside door handles could break.
...
The second recall involves more than 57,000 2006-07 E-150, E-250 and E-350 vans, and 2007 Expedition and Navigator SUVs with 5.4 liter engines.

The automaker said the engine's fuel rail crossover hose, which connects the fuel rails, could crack and leak fuel, potentially leading to a fire."
