Ford Recalls 101,944 Taurus Sedans Over Door Trim That Can Detach

Owner notices start Sept. 22 ahead of a permanent fix in December.

Overview

  • The recall covers 2016–2019 Ford Taurus sedans built at the Chicago Assembly Plant between July 25, 2016 and March 1, 2019.
  • Ford traced the defect to a 2016 assembly change that removed hand rollers, leading to incomplete adhesion of the B‑pillar applique on the front doors.
  • Drivers may see trim separation or hear wind and rattling noises, and detached pieces could create a road hazard for other vehicles.
  • Dealers will inspect and repair or replace the trim free of charge under NHTSA recall 25S91, with follow‑up owner letters planned when the permanent remedy is ready in December.
  • Ford reports no crashes or injuries tied to the issue, though it logged 452 related warranty claims from 2017 to 2022, and the action follows a separate recall of about 1.46 million vehicles for rearview camera problems.
