DETROIT — Ford is recalling nearly 435,000 cars and SUVs to fix rusting frame parts or faulty seats.

The biggest of the two recalls covers nearly 386,000 Ford Escapes from the 2001 through 2004 model years. Ford said the subframes can rust, allowing a control arm to separate and hamper steering control. Ford is aware of one crash but no injuries linked to the problem.

The SUVs were originally sold or registered in 20 states and Washington, D.C., where salt is used to clear snow and ice from roads. Six Canadian provinces also are included.

Dealers will install a reinforcement brace to fix the problem.

The second recall covers 49,000 Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and C-MAX vehicles from 2013 and 2014. Dealers will replace seat back frames that weren't welded properly. No crashes or injuries have been reported from the problem, Ford said.

NEW YORK — Airline passengers might notice something missing these days from their vodka tonics or Diet Cokes: the lime.A recent shortage and spike in price has caused some airlines — for now — to stop offering the fruit in their beverage service.“We temporarily pulled limes about two weeks ago, due to skyrocketing lime prices,” said Alaska Airlines spokesman Halley Knigge. She said the airline normally goes through about 900 limes a day.Lime growers in the Mexican state of Michoacan have reduced their supply because of unrest caused by drug cartels and flooding from heavy rains. That, combined with drought in California and an overall growing demand for limes for margaritas, tacos and other dishes, has driven up prices to a three-year high.
