30 recalls covering model years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024. 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 Explorer, Escape, Lincoln Aviator, and Lincoln Corsair vehicles because the windshield wiper motor may fail. If the motor fails, the windshield wipers may stop working properly, which can make it harder for the driver to see the road. Dealers will inspect the front wiper motors and replace them if necessary, at no cost to the owner. A final repair is expected to be available in October 2026.
The image on the center display may flip or turn upside down, showing an incorrect rearview image when the vehicle is put into reverse. Because the rearview image is not displayed correctly, these vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for rear visibility. To fix the problem, Ford dealers will update the software in the accessory protocol interface module at no charge to the owner.
In certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles, the engine block heater can crack and develop a coolant leak. If the block heater is plugged in when this happens, it can short circuit.
Water may leak into the left and right rear combination light assemblies on some Corsair SUVs. This can cause the reverse light, tail light, brake light, or rear turn signal to stop working.
On certain 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair vehicles, water may get into the rearview camera's connectors. This can cause the rearview camera image to not show up on the display, or to appear distorted.
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.
Ford is recalling certain Lincoln Nautilus, Escape, Lincoln Corsair, Maverick, and Bronco Sport vehicles equipped with a 1.5L or 2.0L engine and an engine block heater. The block heater may overheat while the vehicle is parked with it plugged in.
Certain Ford Escape, Lincoln Corsair, and Ford Maverick hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles were repaired incorrectly under an earlier recall. If the engine fails, engine oil and fuel vapor may be released into the engine compartment and build up near hot engine or exhaust parts, which are possible sources of ignition. This may result in a fire in the engine compartment.
Ford is recalling certain Lincoln Aviator and Lincoln Corsair vehicles with the Revel audio system that were repaired incorrectly under an earlier recall. When the vehicle is started and the driver's seat belt is not buckled, the warning chime may sound for less than four seconds, which is not long enough. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard covering occupant crash protection.
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.
Ford is recalling certain Explorer, Lincoln Aviator and Lincoln Corsair vehicles that were already repaired once under an earlier recall, because that earlier repair was not done correctly. The video output can stop working, so the rearview camera picture may not appear on the screen. Dealers will update the software in the module that processes the camera image, free of charge. Ford mailed owner notification letters on April 25, 2025.
Ford is recalling certain Maverick, Escape, and Lincoln Corsair vehicles that were fixed incorrectly under an earlier recall for this same issue. A software problem in the hybrid transmission control module may cause the vehicle to shift into neutral unexpectedly, which means the vehicle can suddenly lose the power that drives the wheels.
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.
Certain Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair vehicles have a manufacturing defect in one or more of the high voltage battery cells. This defect may cause an internal short circuit and battery failure. A failed battery can cause the vehicle to lose drive power, and it can also increase the risk of a fire.
Ford is recalling certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including the Explorer, Escape, F-150, Expedition and the Lincoln Aviator, Corsair and Navigator. The airbag warning label that belongs on the dashboard may be missing. That label shows how seat belts and other restraints should be used. Because the label is missing, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard for occupant crash protection. Ford will mail owners the warning labels at no cost. Letters were mailed to owners in December 2024.
Ford is recalling these vehicles because the fuel injectors may have been assembled without O-ring support discs. Without these discs in place, the fuel injectors can develop a fuel leak. A fuel leak that happens near something that could ignite it raises the chance of a fire starting in the vehicle. This affects certain Lincoln Corsair, Escape, Mustang, and Explorer vehicles built with this fuel injector assembly problem.
This recall covers certain Ford Maverick, Ford Escape, and Lincoln Corsair vehicles. A software problem in the system that manages the hybrid powertrain may cause the vehicle to shift into neutral unexpectedly, resulting in a loss of drive power.
Certain hybrid and plug-in hybrid Escape, Maverick, and Corsair vehicles can suffer an engine failure that releases engine oil and fuel vapor into the engine compartment. This vapor can collect near hot parts of the engine or exhaust, close to sources that could ignite it. If that happens, it may start a fire in the engine compartment, which raises the risk of injury to anyone in or near the vehicle.
Ford is recalling certain Explorer, Lincoln Aviator and Lincoln Corsair vehicles that have a 360-degree camera. The video output can fail, so the rearview camera image does not appear on the screen. Dealers will replace the 360-degree camera at no cost, and owners have been notified by mail. This recall expands and replaces an earlier recall, and vehicles that were already repaired under that earlier recall need to have the new repair done as well.
Ford is recalling certain Explorer, Lincoln Aviator and Lincoln Corsair vehicles that have a 360-degree camera system. The video output can fail, which means the rearview camera image may not show on the screen. Dealers will update the software in the module that processes the camera image, free of charge. This recall expands and replaces an earlier Ford recall, and vehicles already repaired under that one still need the new repair.
Ford is recalling certain Lincoln Aviator and Lincoln Corsair vehicles that have the Revel audio system. When the car is started and the driver's seat belt is not buckled, the chime that reminds the driver to buckle up may sound for less than four seconds, which is not long enough. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal rule on crash protection for people in the vehicle.
If the hybrid engine fails, oil and fuel vapor could leak into the engine compartment. This vapor may collect near hot parts of the engine or exhaust system, which are potential ignition sources. This buildup could lead to a fire in the engine compartment, which increases the risk of injury. This affects certain Escape, Maverick, and Lincoln Corsair vehicles with hybrid or plug-in hybrid engines.
Certain hybrid Escape and Corsair models have a high voltage battery built with insufficient welds inside. If those welds fail, the battery can no longer properly deliver power, and the vehicle can lose the ability to drive while it's being used.
Ford is recalling certain Corsair and Escape vehicles equipped with the 2.5L hybrid powertrain because the high voltage battery may fail. If the battery fails, the vehicle can experience a sudden loss of drive power while it is being driven, meaning the vehicle stops moving forward under its own power. Dealers will replace the high voltage battery, free of charge, so the vehicle's power system works as intended.
On vehicles with a 360-degree camera system, the video output may fail. When this happens, the rearview camera image does not display.
Ford is recalling certain Escape, Bronco Sport, and Lincoln Corsair vehicles because the fuel delivery module inside the fuel tank may leak. This can cause low fuel pressure, which could cause the engine to stall. An engine stall increases the risk of a crash.
Certain Ford Edge, Escape and Bronco Sport, along with Lincoln Corsair and Nautilus vehicles, may have an inadequate amount of lubricant in the rear drive unit. Without enough lubricant, the rear drive axle can seize while the vehicle is being driven, affecting how the vehicle moves.
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.
This recall covers certain Ford Edge, Ford Escape, Ford Transit Connect, Lincoln Corsair, and Lincoln Nautilus vehicles. The bolts on the start/stop accumulator end cap may be missing or loose.
On some Corsair vehicles, there may not be enough clearance between the rear coil springs and the nearby rear toe link brackets. Without enough space, these parts can make contact with each other, and that contact can cause a rear coil spring to fracture or break over time, since the components were not originally positioned with enough room between them.
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.
