Overview

  • The recall affects 312,120 of Ford’s 2025 Lincoln Navigator, F-150, Expedition, Bronco and Ranger models due to a potential loss of power brake assist.
  • A voltage disturbance in the electronic brake booster module can trigger a current surge that exceeds system limits and shuts down brake assist.
  • Owners will receive no-cost software updates over-the-air or at dealerships, with notification letters slated to mail August 25.
  • By July 11, Ford recorded 37 warranty claims and one low-speed crash linked to the defect but reported no injuries or fires.
  • This action is the latest of several major safety recalls in 2025 as NHTSA oversight intensifies over Ford’s wider supplier and manufacturing quality issues.
