29 recalls covering model years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
On certain Ford Super Duty trucks equipped with 6.7-liter diesel engines, a washer inside the transmission can break apart, or disintegrate. When this happens, small pieces of metal debris from the washer can become lodged in the mechanism that lets the truck shift into and stay in 'Park.' Debris stuck in this mechanism can keep the truck from going into 'Park' or from staying there once it is put in 'Park.'
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 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.
Ford is recalling a wide range of vehicles, including the F-150 and Super Duty pickups, Explorer, Mustang, Transit, Expedition, Escape, Ranger and Edge, plus the Lincoln Nautilus and Corsair. A poor electrical connection can cause the rearview camera to show a blank or distorted image from time to time. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility standard. Dealers will replace the rearview camera free of charge, and owners have been notified by mail.
On some diesel Super Duty trucks, a part inside the transmission called the torque converter damper plate was not properly hardened during manufacturing, making it brittle. This brittle plate can crack or break, which may cause the engine to stall while driving, or may make it take much more effort on the brake pedal to bring the truck to a stop.
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.
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.
