- Ford has issued three separate recalls that impact nearly 150,000 vehicles.
- The most serious involves the 2025 Explorer, which can lose drive power.
- It is also recalling the Ranger, F-150, Expedition, Navigator, and Nautilus.
If it’s a day that ends in “y,” you can bet a Ford got recalled. The company is the undisputed champion as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the automaker has already racked up a staggering 38 recalls in the first four months of the year.
var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f”);
}
});
That’s more than three times as many recalls as second place Volkswagen, which has only had 12 in 2025. Despite the commanding lead, Ford is securing their position with three new recalls.

The first one impacts 123,611 trucks and SUVs including the 2017-2018 F-150 and Expedition as well as the 2017-2018 Lincoln Navigator. The government says vehicles equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine are equipped with a brake master cylinder that may leak.
This can impact braking performance if fluid levels get low enough. Ford is aware of 90 warranty claims related to the issue and customers will need to take their vehicle to a dealership to get the brake master cylinder replaced. If the master cylinder is leaking, the brake booster will also be replaced.
Recall No2 is more serious and it impacts 24,655 Explorers from the 2025 model year. The crossovers are equipped with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine and “may experience a reset of their Powertrain Control Module while driving.” That’s not good and it could result in the “vehicle’s park pawl ratcheting while the vehicle is in motion, potentially damaging the pawl or other park system components if the vehicle is traveling at speeds greater than 10 mph (16 km/h).”
If that wasn’t bad enough, the reset can also result in the temporary loss of acceleration. If there are eight consecutive resets in the span of 18 seconds, you’ll effectively be Fred Flintstone-ing it.
The government says the problem is related to a programming issue, which “erroneously triggers a reset” when software encounters an unexpectedly small value. To address it, dealers will update the PCM software and inspect the transmission for parking system damage. If any is found, they’ll replace it.
The third and final recall is for 1,168 Rangers and Nautilus vehicles from the 2024 model year. This is a recall of a recall as the government noted the vehicles were “previously repaired incorrectly.”

}
});
That’s becoming an alarmingly common occurrence at Ford, but this one involves windows that may pinch occupants. In particular, when using the global closing feature, the windows may not automatically reverse after detecting an object. To solve the problem, dealers will update driver and passenger door module software.
