Automotive giant Ford has announced several vehicle recalls in 2025, affecting over 42,000 units. The recalls involve popular models such as the F-150, Bronco, Escape, and multiple Lincoln SUVs, encompassing a wide range of issues.
Read on to know the details of the Ford 2025 recall.
Which vehicle models did Ford recall?
Ford recently issued a series of safety recalls covering over 42,000 vehicles due to multiple concerns that could increase the risk of fire, crashes, and engine failure. These recalls, reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on May 27, affect a wide range of models.
One major recall affects over 30,000 units of the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus. In these vehicles, a software issue could cause the display screens to go blank, leaving drivers without access to crucial information, such as speed and warning alerts. In some cases, the rearview camera may also fail, creating a potential crash risk. Owners will receive a free software fix via dealers or an over-the-air update, with notifications scheduled to go out by June 16.
Another recall affects several models, including the 2023–2025 Escape, Corsair, Maverick, and Bronco Sport. They are being recalled due to a fault in the engine block heater system. When plugged in while the vehicle is parked, the heater may overheat and potentially start a fire. Ford will replace the heater element and inspect or replace the cord at no cost. Letters will be mailed to affected owners by June 6.
Ford also issued a recall for nearly 1,800 Escape, Corsair, and Maverick vehicles equipped with 2.5L HEV or PHEV engines. Improper repairs under a previous recall could lead to engine failure, which in turn might cause fire or injury. Drivers are urged to stop the vehicle immediately if they notice smoke, power loss, or unusual engine sounds. A software update will be provided.
In another case, Ford is recalling 192 of its 2022 F-150 Lightning electric trucks due to improperly completed repairs under a previous recall. The vehicles’ tire pressure monitoring system may fail to alert drivers to low tire pressure, increasing crash risks. A fresh software update will be issued, and owners will be contacted by June 23.
Lastly, 154 vehicles from the 2025 F-150, Transit, and Explorer lines are affected by engine defects. This is due to flawed manufacturing of internal components and could result in engine damage or failure. The company is still working on a solution, and owners will be contacted starting June 9.
