https://carrecalltracker.com/lincoln/NHTSA vehicle safety recalls explained in plain English. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v470000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v470000/Tue, 21 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000On these SUVs, the driver's seat can tip backward on its own when nobody is sitting in it — for example, after you unlock or start the vehicle remotely. If someone is riding or sitting in the second row behind that seat, the seat back can move into them and pin them against their own seat. Until replacement parts are ready, the dealer will switch off the seat feature that causes it, then replace the seat motor later. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v451000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v451000/Tue, 14 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000This is a wider version of an earlier recall and covers more model years. The button for the second-row outside easy-entry seats can stick or jam, so the seat may unlatch, tip, or slide when you do not expect it. A seat that moves on its own may not hold a passenger properly in a crash. Dealers will check the switch and replace the plastic ring around it if needed, free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v402000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v402000/Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000The part inside the automatic transmission that locks the wheels when you shift into Park can catch while the vehicle is still moving. That can damage the parking system, so the vehicle may not stay put after you park it and could roll on its own. Ford will update the transmission computer software and inspect and replace any damaged parts. The fix is not ready yet; Ford expects it around April 2027 and will mail a second letter then. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v377000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v377000/Tue, 09 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000Your 2019 Nautilus has a system that helps keep the car centered in its lane. It is supposed to notice when you take your hands off the steering wheel for too long and warn you to put them back. On these vehicles, an earlier repair was not done correctly, so that check may not work properly. The car may fail to warn you. A dealer will reload the correct steering software. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v372000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v372000/Tue, 09 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000When you start the vehicle, the main display behind the steering wheel — the one showing your speed and warning lights — may come up completely blank. These vehicles had an earlier recall repair for this, but it was not done correctly, so the problem can still happen. With a blank display you cannot see how fast you are going or whether any safety warning lights have come on. A dealer will reload the correct software into that display unit at no cost. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v344000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v344000/Wed, 27 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000The seat belt for the driver's seat, the front passenger seat, or both can lock up on its own. When that happens, the belt will not pull out and will not pull back in, so it cannot be worn properly across the person in the seat. A belt stuck like that may not hold someone in place in a crash. Dealers will inspect the belt retractors and replace any bad ones, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v204000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v204000/Tue, 31 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000The metal arms that hold the windshield wipers can break. If an arm breaks, that wiper stops sweeping the glass. In heavy rain or snow you could suddenly be left with little or no clear view through the windshield while you are driving. A dealer will inspect the wiper arms and replace them if needed, free of charge. Ford mailed owner letters in August 2026, and you can look up your VIN online now. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v165000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v165000/Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000A computer module that handles the camera images can restart itself over and over without warning. When it does, you lose the backup camera picture on your screen, along with driver-assist features: the pre-collision system, lane-keeping help, and blind-spot monitoring. Those features may not be working when you expect them, which makes it harder to spot a hazard around you. The fix is a free software update, done either at the dealer or sent to the vehicle over the air. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v159000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v159000/Tue, 17 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000The bolts that hold the bottom end of the second-row outside seat belts to the vehicle may not have been fastened properly. A seat belt held by a loose bolt may not keep a passenger in place during a crash, so the belt may not protect them the way it should. Dealers will inspect those lower anchor bolts on both outer second-row seats and repair or replace them as needed, at no charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v123000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v123000/Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000When you shift into reverse, the picture from the backup camera can show up flipped or upside down on the center screen. A reversed image makes it hard to tell what is actually behind you and which way to steer, so you could back into a person or an object. It is a software problem, and the dealer will load the correct software into the screen system at no cost. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v117000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v117000/Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000The motor that drives the windshield wipers can fail, so the wipers may not work the way they should or may stop working at all. If that happens during rain or snow, you can lose your clear view of the road. Ford has already mailed a letter warning owners about the risk, but the final fix is not ready yet; it is expected in October 2026. Dealers will inspect and replace the motor free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v122000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v122000/Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000A valve that routes some exhaust back into the engine can fail. When it does, the vehicle can suddenly lose the power that drives the wheels while you are on the road. That can leave you slowing down or coasting in traffic with other cars around you, with little warning. Dealers will replace the valve at no charge. Notification letters went out and you can look your vehicle up by VIN now. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v104000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v104000/Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000These Ford and Lincoln trucks and SUVs have a built-in trailer brake controller. On the affected vehicles, that controller can stop communicating with the rest of the vehicle while you are towing. When that happens, the trailer's brake lights and turn signals can go dark, and the trailer's brakes may stop working. That makes the trailer harder to control and makes it harder for drivers behind you to see when you are braking or turning. A free software update fixes it. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v091000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v091000/Tue, 17 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000A defect in one or more cells inside the large high-voltage battery can cause a short circuit and make the battery fail. If that happens while you are driving, the car can lose power to the wheels, and there is also a risk of fire. Ford's fix is a software update for the two computers that manage the battery and the hybrid system. Until it is done, Ford says to drive only in "Auto EV" mode and to limit how much you charge the battery. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v831000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v831000/Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000The long light bar across the back of these 2025 Navigators can crack, either in the outer lens or along a weld. Water then gets inside and collects, and the backup lights can flicker or quit working. That means people behind you may not realize you are backing up, which matters most in parking lots and driveways where someone could be walking past. Dealers replace the whole rear light bar at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v823000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v823000/Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000Your 2025 Navigator or Expedition uses an electronic unit to create the power assist that makes the brake pedal easy to press. It can quit while you drive, or while a driver-assistance feature is controlling the vehicle. Then the pedal gets hard, stopping takes much more distance, and the assist features may not brake as you expect. The failure comes without warning. Some 2025 F-150, Bronco and Ranger vehicles are also recalled. Dealers replace the booster free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v827000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v827000/Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000The trim panels covering the posts between your Lincoln's front and rear doors, the strips beside the driver's and front passenger's seats, can come loose and fall off while you are driving. A piece coming off at speed can land in the road behind you and become an obstacle that other drivers hit or swerve around. Ford has sent an early warning letter, but the actual fix is not ready yet; a second letter is expected around July 2026, and the repair is free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v789000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v789000/Fri, 14 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000A flaw in how the high-voltage battery cells were made can cause a short circuit inside the battery pack. The battery can fail while you're driving, and the car can suddenly lose power. In some cases the failure can start a fire. Dealers will reprogram two computers that manage the battery and hybrid system. Until that's done, Ford says to drive only in "Auto EV" mode and to limit how much you charge the battery. Cars already fixed under the earlier recall still need this new repair. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v730000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v730000/Fri, 24 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000The windshield on some of these vehicles was made with air bubbles you can see in the glass. Those bubbles can distort or block part of the driver's view of the road, which makes a crash more likely. Glass like this does not meet the federal safety standard for auto glass. The dealer will look at your windshield and replace it for free if it has the problem. Ford mailed owner letters on November 6, 2025. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v729000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v729000/Fri, 24 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000The clips that hold the wind deflector to the moonroof frame may not be attached well enough. The deflector is the small screen at the front edge of the moonroof opening that cuts down wind noise. If the clips let go, the deflector can come off the vehicle and land on the road, where it becomes a hazard for you and for drivers behind you. Dealers will inspect it and repair or reattach it as needed, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v695000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v695000/Mon, 13 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000The backup camera on these vehicles may show a picture that is warped, flickers in and out, or goes completely blank when you shift into reverse. Without a clear view behind you, it's easier to miss a child, a pet, or an object while backing up. Dealers will inspect the camera and replace it if needed, free of charge. Ford is doing this in phases by model and year, so the parts may not be ready for your vehicle yet. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v687000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v687000/Fri, 10 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000The bolts that hold the trailer hitch onto your Explorer or Aviator may not be tight enough. Over time those loose bolts can let the hitch shift or work its way free. If that happens while you are pulling a trailer, the vehicle can become hard to steer and control, or the trailer can come off the back of your vehicle entirely. A dealer will check every hitch bolt and tighten it, or put in new bolts if any are damaged. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v685000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v685000/Fri, 10 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000An engine block heater is the plug-in warmer some vehicles have to help the engine start in very cold weather. On these Fords and Lincolns the heater can crack and leak coolant, and the leak can cause an electrical short when the heater is plugged in. That short can start a fire. Ford is telling owners not to plug in the block heater at all until the vehicle is fixed. Dealers will replace it, or seal it off and remove the cord, free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v688000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v688000/Fri, 10 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000Water can get inside the light clusters at the back of your Corsair. When that happens, one or more of the rear lights can stop working — the reverse light, tail light, brake light, or turn signal on the left or right side. Other drivers may not be able to see your car well, and they may not get any warning when you brake, turn, or back up. The lights do not meet federal safety rules. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v628000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v628000/Fri, 19 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000An electrical short inside the fuse box that connects to the battery can start an engine fire. It can happen while you are driving or while the SUV is parked. Ford says to park outside, away from buildings and other vehicles, until the work is done. The dealer will inspect that fuse box and replace it if needed, remove a ground wire, and on some vehicles fit an extra electrical box with a jumper wire. Everything is free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v572000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v572000/Thu, 04 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000When you put the vehicle in reverse, the backup camera may show a picture that is upside down, distorted, or completely blank. That leaves you with less of a view behind you, so it is easier to miss a person or an object while backing up. Dealers will inspect the camera and replace it if needed at no cost. Ford is mailing owner letters in phases, starting January 2026 with more going out in June 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v544000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v544000/Fri, 22 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000A rear brake hose on these Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles can split and leak brake fluid. That hose is the flexible line carrying fluid to the rear brakes, and it flexes as the suspension moves. If fluid leaks out, the vehicle needs a longer distance to come to a stop. Ford mailed a first warning letter in September 2025, but the parts for the fix are not expected until around August 2026. Dealers will inspect, replace, or adjust the hoses free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v543000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v543000/Fri, 22 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000If you tow a trailer, the lights on the back of the trailer may not come on. The problem is a badly made control computer in the vehicle that sends power to the trailer's lights. Drivers behind your trailer may not see it, especially at night or in poor weather. A dealer will replace the computer on low-mileage vehicles, or test it first and replace it if it fails. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v510000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v510000/Fri, 08 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000Water can get into the electrical connectors for the camera that shows what is behind you when you back up. Once water gets in, the camera picture may not come up on the dashboard screen at all, or it may look distorted. Without that picture you can miss a child, a pet, or an object behind the vehicle while reversing. Dealers replace the camera and the wiring harness that plugs into it, at no charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v518000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v518000/Fri, 08 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000These Nautilus SUVs were brought in for an earlier window recall, 24V953, and were repaired incorrectly. Power windows are supposed to sense something in the way — a hand, an arm, a child's fingers — and go back down. On these vehicles the window may not react correctly and can keep pressing with too much force before it retracts, so the vehicles do not meet the federal rule for power windows. A dealer reloads the door module software free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v519000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v519000/Fri, 08 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000The small driver modules that run the LED headlights can contain a burnt diode. When that happens, the affected headlight can lose its low beam, high beam, daytime running light, front position light and front turn signal. On the Nautilus, the tail light, rear turn signal and rear position light on that side can go out as well. That means the vehicles do not meet the federal rule for lamps. Dealers inspect and replace the modules free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v488000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v488000/Fri, 25 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000The part that helps your brakes work with light pedal pressure can stop working while you are driving, or while you are using driver-assist features that brake for you. If that happens, the brake pedal gets much harder to push and the vehicle takes longer to stop. The car may also fail to slow down on its own when a driver-assist feature expects it to. A free software update fixes it, either sent to the vehicle or done at a dealer. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v484000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v484000/Fri, 25 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000Your Aviator has a feature that closes all the windows at once. The rear side windows are supposed to stop and go back down if they hit something on the way up. On these vehicles, those windows press too hard on whatever is in the way before they reverse. That could pinch a hand, an arm, or a child's fingers and cause an injury. Ford is correcting it with a free software update to one of the car's control modules. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v455000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v455000/Mon, 07 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000On these Ford and Lincoln trucks, SUVs and Mustangs, the low-pressure fuel pump, which is the part that moves gasoline out of the tank, can fail. If it does, the engine can stall and shut off while you are driving. The repair depends on what you own: on Super Duty pickups the dealer replaces the fuel pump itself, and on all the other vehicles the dealer reprograms the engine computer. Either repair is free. Owner letters were mailed July 27, 2026. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v439000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v439000/Fri, 27 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000The airbag in front of the passenger seat may have been built incorrectly at the factory. Instead of cushioning the person in a crash, it can inflate with too much force. That extra force can injure whoever is sitting in that seat during a crash. Dealers will remove the passenger side airbag and install a new one at no charge. Owner letters were mailed on August 8, 2025. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v442000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v442000/Fri, 27 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000A software error affects the backup camera. The screen may show a blank image when you shift into reverse, so you cannot see what is behind the vehicle. Or the camera picture may stay on the screen after you have shifted out of reverse, which can distract you while driving forward. Either situation raises the risk of a crash. A dealer will update the rearview camera software free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v407000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v407000/Fri, 13 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000The glue holding some trim pieces on the outside of the Aviator may not be strong enough. The strips around the rear door windows and the covers on the pillars behind the rear doors can come unstuck and fall off while you are driving. A piece flying off on the road can hit or surprise other drivers behind you. Dealers will repair or replace those trim pieces at no cost. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v393000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v393000/Fri, 13 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000The button that lets the second-row outside seats slide and fold forward for easy entry can stick or jam. When that happens, the seat may unlatch, fold, or slide on its own while you are driving. A seat that shifts like that may not hold a passenger in place during a crash. Dealers will look at the switch and replace the plastic trim ring around it if needed, at no cost. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v403000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v403000/Fri, 13 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000Your Navigator's headlights are run by a small computer, and its software has a fault. Because of it, the side marker lights and the daytime running lights can stop working. These are the lights that help other drivers see your vehicle, so the SUV does not meet the federal rules for lighting. This affects vehicles that already had an earlier lighting recall repair, so a previous fix does not mean you are covered. The dealer reloads corrected software. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v346000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v346000/Fri, 23 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000These vehicles came in for an earlier recall, but that repair was done incorrectly. Because of a software mistake, the crash-avoidance features are not working: your vehicle will not warn you about a vehicle stopped ahead, and it will not brake on its own to help avoid or soften a collision. Your regular brakes and the rest of the vehicle still work normally, but that automatic safety net is missing. The dealer will reload the correct software.
