Dearborn, MI – August 22, 2025 – Ford (NYSE:F) is recalling 21,765 cars and SUVs whose headlights, taillights and turn signals may fail. This defect reduces the vehicle’s visibility, upping the chances of a crash and injury.
The following models are affected:
- 2025 Ford Mustang
- 2025 Ford Mustang Mach E
- 2025 Lincoln Nautilus
Recall summary
The LED module in the affected vehicles may contain a burned diode which can result in its malfunction. As a result, headlights, taillights and turn signals may not turn on when needed.
Recall risks
Unilluminated headlights or taillights reduce the vehicle’s visibility, and the absence of the turn signals makes other motorists unaware of the driver’s intention. Both situations increase the risk of a crash and injury.
Warning signs
A malfunctioning headlight may trigger a corresponding warning on the dashboard and cause the turn signal indicator to flash at a faster rate than usual.

In July 2025, more than 800,000 Ford vehicles were recalled over the risk of stall caused by a defective fuel pump.
