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.
