Ford is recalling 456,565 SUVs and pickup trucks for loss of drive power because of a low battery issue, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration documents.

Why it matters: The undetected low battery charge can result in a loss of electrical accessories such as hazard lights and increase the risk of a crash, records show.

The big picture: Ford said in documents it was aware of 917 warranty reports and 54 consumer complaints related to the issue as of Feb. 8.

The automaker said it was not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue as of early February.
The documents note there are three unverified reports of fire and two property damage claims.
