Ford Explorer and Lincoln Windshields May Have Air Bubbles

NHTSA campaign 25V730000 · Reported 2025-10-24 · Ford Motor Company

medium How serious is it? About this label

Anything that blocks your view of the road raises the chance of a crash, though the notice does not tell owners to stop driving while they wait for the inspection.

What's wrong, in plain English

The 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.
