31 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Ford is recalling certain Expedition, F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD, F-550 SD, F-600 SD, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles because the windshield wiper arms may break. When a wiper arm breaks, the windshield wipers can fail to work properly, which can make it harder for the driver to see the road ahead. Dealers will inspect the wiper arms on affected vehicles and replace them if necessary, at no cost to the owner.
Ford is recalling certain F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD, F-550 SD, F-600 SD, and F-750 Super Duty trucks that were previously repaired incorrectly under recall 24V957. Biodiesel deposits may build up on the fuel pump's drivetrain roller components, which could cause the high-pressure fuel pump to fail. A fuel pump failure can cause a loss of drive power. Dealers will update the powertrain control module software, at no cost to the owner.
When towing a trailer, the integrated trailer module in certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles may lose communication with the vehicle. This can cause a loss of trailer brake and turn signal lights, or a loss of trailer brake function.
On some Ford Expedition, F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles, the clips holding the moonroof wind deflector may not be attached properly. This can allow the wind deflector to come loose and detach from the vehicle while driving. Dealers will inspect the moonroof wind deflector and repair it as necessary, at no cost to you. A detached wind deflector could become a hazard on the road for other drivers.
Ford is recalling certain F-250, F-350 and F-450 Super Duty trucks. The 360-degree view camera system may not display the rearview image properly in certain lighting conditions. Ford's fix is a software update for the module that processes the camera image. The repair is being released in phases by model year, so owners are being told about the safety problem first and will be contacted again once the update is available for their truck.
Ford is recalling certain 2020-2021 F-250, F-350, and F-450 trucks. The upper shaft of the steering column may come loose and detach from the rest of the steering column. If this happens, the driver could lose the ability to steer the truck. The problem is located in the steering column itself, specifically the upper shaft connection.
Some Ford pickup trucks, SUVs, vans, and the Lincoln MKC may have a problem with the rearview camera. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the camera image on the screen may appear distorted, show an upside-down picture, or go completely blank instead of a normal picture. Because of this, the driver may not have a clear view of what is behind the vehicle while backing up.
On certain Ford and Lincoln models, the low-pressure fuel pump may fail. If it fails, the engine can stall while the vehicle is being driven.
Ford is recalling certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including the Explorer, Escape, F-150, Expedition, Ranger, Mustang, Bronco Sport, Maverick, Transit and the Lincoln Aviator, Corsair, Navigator and Nautilus. A software problem can make the rearview camera show a blank picture when the vehicle is backing up. The picture can also stay on the screen after the driver has finished backing up. Dealers will update the rearview camera software at no cost. Letters were mailed to owners in September 2025.
These Ford and Lincoln vehicles were already repaired once under an earlier recall for the same problem, but a software error in that repair means a towed trailer equipped with electric or electric-over-hydraulic brakes may not brake as it should. If the trailer's brakes don't work properly, it can take longer to bring the vehicle and trailer to a stop, which raises the chance of a crash.
Ford is recalling certain Expedition, Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550 and F-600 trucks, and the Lincoln Corsair. On these vehicles, the rearview camera may show a blank or distorted picture instead of a clear view of what is behind the vehicle. Dealers will replace the rearview camera as needed, free of charge. Ford has already mailed notification letters to owners, and a customer service line is available for questions about the recall.
In certain diesel trucks, deposits can form on parts of the fuel pump's drivetrain rollers over time. This buildup can cause the high pressure fuel pump to stop working properly. Dealers will fix the issue by updating the powertrain control module and transmission control module software, at no cost to you.
Ford is recalling certain 2018 through 2023 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles with third-row seats, along with 2019 through 2023 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty SuperCab trucks. The owner's manual for these vehicles is missing the instructions for adjusting and removing some of the head restraints, also called headrests. Because of that, these vehicles do not meet the federal standard covering head restraints.
A part inside the driveshaft can move out of place over time. This can throw the driveshaft off balance, and it may eventually crack or break. If this happens, the vehicle could lose the power that turns the wheels. Also, if the parking brake isn't engaged, a parked vehicle could roll away on its own. Either situation raises the chance of a crash.
Ford is recalling certain Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350 and F-450 trucks and Lincoln Continental cars that have the 360-degree camera system. The anti-reflective coating on the camera lens can break down, and when that happens the rearview camera picture can look foggy or cloudy instead of clear. Ford says dealers will replace the rearview camera at no cost to the owner.
Ford is recalling certain F-Series Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans, plus some other Ford vehicles that were given a reprinted label. The Safety Certification Label on these vehicles is missing the tire size, rim type and tire pressure figures for the front and rear axles. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal safety rules covering tire selection and rims and covering wheels and rims. Dealers will replace the label at no cost to the owner.
Ford is recalling certain F-150 and Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 trucks. A weak electrical connection means the backup camera may show a blank screen or a distorted picture, and it may do this on and off rather than all the time. Because of this, these trucks do not meet the federal government's rear visibility safety standard. Dealers will put in a new rearview camera at no charge to the owner.
In these vehicles, the windshield wiper arms can break, which causes the windshield wipers to stop working. Dealers will fix this by replacing both front windshield wiper arms, free of charge.
On some Ford F-150, Maverick, Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 vehicles, a software error can affect the integrated trailer brake control. If you're towing a trailer with electric or electric-over-hydraulic brakes, those trailer brakes may not work as they should. Dealers will update the trailer brake control module software, at no cost to you. This can make it take longer to stop while towing.
Certain Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks with gasoline engines and aluminum driveshafts have underbody heat and noise insulators that can come loose. If an insulator contacts the driveshaft, it can damage the driveshaft and cause it to fracture, and the truck could also move unexpectedly while parked if the parking brake isn't engaged.
On these Ford Super Duty and Medium Duty trucks with 6.7-liter diesel engines, a small void in the underhood secondary fuel filter cap may develop into a pinhole over time. This can allow fuel to leak from the top of the secondary fuel filter.
The cover over the driver-side airbag may not be strong enough. During a crash, the cover could break apart and send fragments toward the people inside the vehicle.
Ford is recalling certain Expedition, Super Duty F-250, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles. The front-door side impact sensor modules may have been damaged when they were put together at the supplier, which can prevent the side air bags from deploying properly in a crash. Dealers will replace the driver and passenger front door side impact sensors to fix the problem, free of charge.
Certain Ford Escape, F-150, and F-250/F-350 vehicles were built with Continental tires that may have been cured for too long during manufacturing. An over-cured tire can develop a break in its sidewall, leading to sudden air loss or the belt separating from the tire.
Ford is recalling certain Super Duty trucks, along with some 2021 F-150 pickups. When these vehicles were built, the windshield may not have been bonded to the body correctly, so it could separate from the vehicle in a crash. Because of this, the trucks do not meet the federal safety rule for windshield mounting. Dealers will remove the windshield and reinstall it properly at no cost to the owner.
Icon Vehicle Dynamics is recalling its FSD 2.5 Centerline Stabilizer Kit, sold as an accessory for certain Ford F-250 and F-350 4x4 trucks. A foam ring inside the stabilizer's through shaft may block the piston ports, which could cause the steering to lock up.
On some Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 SuperCrew Cab trucks with carpet flooring, if a front seat belt pretensioner goes off during a crash, the sparks it produces can ignite materials such as the carpet or insulation inside the B-pillar area of the vehicle. If those materials catch fire, the result could be a fire inside the vehicle.
These Super Duty trucks have an electric tailgate release switch built into the tailgate handle. Water can get into the wiring and cause a short circuit that sets off the switch, releasing the tailgate latches. The tailgate can then open when the driver did not intend it. Cargo that is not tied down could fall out of the truck bed and onto the road. Dealers will rework the wiring and install a new release switch.
This recall affects certain Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty trucks. The daytime running lights may fail to dim when the headlights are turned on. Normally these lights are supposed to get dimmer once you switch the headlights to the "on" position, but on these trucks they may stay at full brightness instead.
This recall affects certain trucks that have an engine block heater and were previously repaired under an earlier recall. During that repair, the splice connector on the block heater cable may have been damaged. A damaged cable can cause an electrical short, which can lead to overheated or melted wiring. This increases the risk of a fire starting in the wiring.
On certain 2019 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty vehicles, the transmission case was cast incorrectly. This casting problem can prevent the park pawl assembly from being secured properly. Because of this, the vehicle may not stay in place the way it should when it is shifted into park, and it can move on its own without the driver intending it, even though the transmission has been put in park.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
