41 recalls covering model years 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026. 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 F-150, F-250 SD, F-350 SD, and F-450 SD vehicles because the cable on the left side of the tailgate may fail under certain heavy loads. If it fails, the tailgate may drop onto the rear bumper. Dealers will replace the left-side cable for free. Ford plans to send owners another letter when the repair becomes available.
On affected Ford trucks, the dashboard needles showing engine speed and vehicle speed may get stuck or move erratically. This can give the driver inaccurate readings. The recall includes certain F-350 SD, F-450 SD, F-550 SD and F-600 trucks, along with other listed Ford models. Dealers will replace the affected dashboard units. Owners will receive an additional letter when the repair is available.
Some Ford Expedition and F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty trucks have headlight assemblies that may contain a faulty LED chip. This can cause the daytime running lights, parking lights, high beams, or low beams to stop working, reducing how well other drivers can see the vehicle or how well the driver can see the road ahead at night. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet federal headlight safety requirements.
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.
The instrument panel cluster in these trucks may fail when the vehicle is started. When this happens, the display will not show important information such as vehicle speed and warning lights. This affects certain Ford F-350 SD, F-450 SD, and F-550 SD trucks. Ford is fixing the problem with a software update to the instrument panel cluster, done either by a dealer or automatically over the air.
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.
A spring that holds the brake booster pushrod in place may not have been installed. Without it, the pushrod can disconnect from the brake pedal, which can cause a sudden loss of brake function.
⚠ NHTSA advises: do not drive this vehicle until repaired.
Ford is recalling certain 2021 through 2025 Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including Bronco, Edge, Escape, Expedition, Mustang, Ranger, Transit, F-150, Super Duty pickups, Mach-E and the Lincoln Nautilus, Navigator and Corsair. A software error can make the backup camera picture come up late, freeze, or not appear at all when the vehicle is in reverse. Ford is handling this recall in phases, so the fix becomes available at different times depending on the model and model year.
Certain Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, and F-450 trucks may have a steering column shifter that wasn't welded correctly and can come loose from the steering column. If the shifter detaches, the driver won't be able to shift the truck into park.
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.
This recall affects Ford F-450 Super Duty trucks that were repaired once before under an earlier recall, but the fix did not work correctly. When the driver uses the Pro Trailer Hitch Assist feature, the rearview camera may not show its normal backup image. This means the driver can have less of a view of what's behind the truck while backing up, since the earlier repair failed to correct the problem.
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.
On certain Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 trucks, water can get into a module behind the tailgate called the Tailgate Park Assist Sensor Interface Module. When this happens, the rearview camera picture may come and go, or turn blue or black instead of showing a clear image. Dealers will replace the tailgate camera, the wiring, and the interface module, and update related software, free of charge.
In some of these trucks, a connector called the clock spring links the steering wheel to the wiring in the steering column, including the wiring for the driver's air bag. That connector may have a weld that is not strong enough, which can break the electrical connection to the driver's air bag. This means the air bag's wiring may not stay connected the way it is supposed to, and the air bag may not have power when it is needed.
Some Ford Super Duty trucks may have front wheel hub extender fasteners that were not tightened enough. This can allow the wheel and wheel extender to come off the vehicle. Wheel detachment can cause a loss of vehicle control and create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
⚠ NHTSA advises: do not drive this vehicle until repaired.
Certain Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, and F-450 trucks are equipped with the Pro Trailer Hitch Assist feature. When this feature is in use, the normal rearview camera image may not appear on the screen. Instead of seeing the standard backup camera view, the driver may not get that display, which can reduce how much of the area behind the truck the driver can see while backing up.
Some Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 trucks have driver and front passenger door windows that may not reverse when they hit an obstacle. This can happen if the door control module loses power briefly and resets while the window is moving. When that happens, the window's anti-pinch feature may fail to notice something near the top of the window and won't automatically reverse direction.
Some Ford Escape, F-450, and F-550 trucks with a digital instrument panel cluster may have a module that was not soldered correctly. This can prevent the instrument panel from lighting up at all. Dealers will replace the module or the instrument panel as needed, at no cost to owners. Ford has already mailed notification letters to owners about this issue.
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.
In some Ford Super Duty trucks, the bolts that hold the upper steering column shaft together may be missing or not tightened properly. If this happens, the steering column could separate from the parts it connects to, affecting how the vehicle steers. Ford dealers will inspect the bolts, tighten them as needed, or install any that are missing, and this repair is free of charge to owners.
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.
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.
Ford is recalling certain Super Duty trucks with dual rear wheels and front wheel hub extenders installed on the front wheels. On these trucks, the wheel hub extenders may not be properly attached to the front rotor hub assemblies. Because of this, a wheel along with its hub extender could become loose and separate from the truck while it is being driven, which could lead to a crash.
⚠ NHTSA advises: do not drive this vehicle until repaired.
Ford is recalling certain Super Duty F-350 and F-450 trucks built with a fifth wheel left-hand mounting bracket that may be cracked. The bracket is part of what holds the fifth wheel hitch to the truck. Dealers will inspect the bracket and replace it if needed.
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.
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.
