July 29, 2025 Bojan Popic Ford Recalls, Lincoln Recalls

Dearborn, MI – July 29, 2025 – Ford (NYSE:F), which owns the Lincoln brand, is recalling 850,318 vehicles that may lose motive power due to a faulty fuel pump. The defect increases the risk of a crash and injury, especially in dense traffic.

The recall comes on the heels of an ongoing U.S. government investigation.

The lengthy list of the affected models includes:

2022 Ford Expedition
2021 – 2023 Ford Bronco
2021 – 2023 Ford Explorer

2021 – 2022 Ford Mustang
2021 – 2023 Lincoln Aviator
2021 – 2022 Lincoln Navigator

Recall summary

The low-pressure fuel pump transfers the gasoline from the fuel tank to the engine. In the affected models, this pump was built incorrectly and may fail to deliver sufficient amounts of fuel, which can cause the vehicle to stall.

Recall risks

A stalled vehicle can get hit by oncoming traffic, augmenting the risk of an injury. Luckily, no injuries or accidents have been reported leading up to the recall.

Warning signs

A failing fuel pump may reduce the engine’s power output, cause it to misfire or run rough or trigger a check engine light.

The background of the recall

The recall is the result of an ongoing investigation by the U.S. government auto safety regulator, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which was opened last June on the back of six complaints alleging stall. The recall comes on the back of 1,860 warranty claims, 28 field reports and 57 customer service reports.

Other Ford recalls

In July 2025, close to 28,000 Ford Bronco SUVs were recalled over defective child locks that could allow rear doors to be inadvertently opened from the inside.

In June 2025, a loose door trim caused a recall that affected almost half a million Ford Explorer SUVs, as reported.

The repair

The carmaker is currently working on a solution to this problem, which, once available, will be performed free of charge.

The owners should receive their notifications between July 14, 2025 and July 18, 2025.

Recall summary

As a result of a software error, the rearview camera in the affected vehicles may fail to show an image while backing or stay on once the transmission is shifted out of Reverse. In addition, the infotainment system may go blank or show messages in an incorrect language.

Recall risks

While a missing rearview camera image reduces visibility when reversing, one that stays on while driving may prevent the driver from using other car functions, such as navigation. Both situations up the risk of a crash and injury.

Other Ford recalls

In May 2025, over 9,000 Ford vehicles were recalled over the risk of steering loss, as reported.

In May 2025, Ford recalled roughly 123,000 cars that were at risk of brake failure, also as reported.

Dearborn, MI – May 28, 2025 – Ford (NYSE:F), which also owns the Lincoln brand, is recalling 273,789 SUVs whose brakes may stop working or take longer to engage. This flaw increases the risk of a crash and affects the following models:

2022 – 2024 Ford Expedition
2022 – 2024 Lincoln Navigator

Recall summary

Due to a manufacturing error, the front brake lines in the affected cars may rub against surrounding engine components, which can cause wear and consequent brake fluid leaks.

Recall risks

The leak will either elongate stopping distances or, if left unattended, result in a brake failure. Both up the risk of a serious accident.

Warning signs

If the brake fluid level drops drops really low, it will trigger a red brake warning indicator on the dashboard.

Background of the recall

The carmaker discovered the problem following 49 warranty reports and customer complaints. No crashes or injuries have been reported.

Other Ford recalls

Ford expands 2022 recall over ‘loss of brake function’

May 6, 2025 Bojan Popic Ford Recalls, Lincoln Recalls

Dearborn, MI – May 6, 2025 – Ford (NYSE:F), which also owns the Lincoln brand, is recalling 123,611 SUVs and pickup trucks over a brake fluid leak, which could lead to brake failure.

This recall serves as the expansion of an identical one from March 2022 and affects the following models:

2017 – 2018 Ford Expedition
2017 – 2018 Ford F-150
2017 – 2018 Lincoln Navigator

Recall summary

The brake master cylinder converts the force a driver applies to the brakes into hydraulic pressure. This cylinder is connected to a booster, which uses vacuum to increase the braking force.

In the affected vehicles, due to “brake fluid contamination,” the fluid may leak from the cylinder into the booster and diminish its performance.

If the brake fluid level drops too low, the brakes may fail.

Recall risks

The vehicle may take longer to stop – or not stop at all – upping the chances of a crash and injury.

Warning signs

If the brake fluid level drops below a certain level, the driver may see a red brake warning light accompanied by a chime and a message on the vehicle’s display.

Background of the recall

In March 2022, older models of these vehicles were recalled over the same issue. Since then, Ford received 90 warranty claims about new models experiencing the same problem and issued the present recall to address it.

No injuries or crashes have been reported.

Other Ford recalls

In April 2025, Bronco Sport SUVs and Maverick pickup trucks were recalled over a stalling issue that was not successfully repaired during the previous recall.

In March 2025, Ford recalled Explorer and Lincoln Aviator SUVs because their seat belts did not provide sufficient protection in a crash, as reported.

The repair

The dealers replace the brake master cylinder and the brake booster free of charge.

The owners should receive letters with more information between April 28, 2025, and May 2, 2025.

Recall summary

Recall risks

With the brakes on the trailer out of action, the vehicle may take longer to stop, upping the risk of a crash and injury.

Background of the recall
