Overview
- The action covers certain 2022–2026 F-150 Lightning, 2024–2026 Mustang Mach‑E, and 2025–2026 Maverick vehicles in the U.S., totaling 272,645 units.
- Ford traced the fault to intermittent binding between the integrated park module’s pawl and slider due to friction and manufacturing tolerances, which can leave the vehicle unsecured.
- A free software update will be delivered over the air or by dealers, with owner letters starting the week of February 2, 2026 and the final remedy expected that month.
- Ford reports no crashes or injuries, estimates only about 1% of vehicles will exhibit the defect, and has logged 22 Mach‑E, 4 Maverick, and 16 F‑150 Lightning warranty claims potentially related to the issue.
- The recall is registered with NHTSA (25V863) under Ford number 25C69, and a separate recall will replace axle shafts on 6,819 model‑year 2026 Super Duty pickups.
