Ford is recalling 147,000 comprising several models to address their different safety issues.

ÂÌñÏ×ÆÞ gathered the issues range from brake fluid leaks to dangerous windows in the affected vehicles.

Brake System Recall for Older Models

Ford is recalling over 123,000 F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles from 2017–2018 due to a brake master cylinder defect that may cause brake fluid leakage, potentially reducing braking performance and increasing crash risk.

PCM Reset Issue in 2025 Explorers

Over 24,000 2025 Ford Explorer SUVs are being recalled because the powertrain control module may reset while driving, which could lead to engine stalls or park system damage—both posing serious safety hazards.

Window Safety Compliance in 2024 Models

A smaller recall yet affects 1,168 2024 Ranger and Lincoln Nautilus vehicles that were incorrectly repaired in a previous recall.

Their windows may not auto-reverse when an object is detected during global closing, violating federal safety standards, agency report said.

The automobile manufacturer also noted

software updates would be provided for free, starting May 19, 2025.

Ford has issued three recalls for nearly 150,000 vehicles to address various safety issues, report noted.

The company as well recalled 123,611 2017-2018 F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles.

It explained the brake master cylinder might allow brake fluid to leak from the front wheel circuit into the brake booster in the affected vehicles.

Ford said a brake fluid leak could cause reduced brake function, and extend the distance required to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.

In connection with what consumers should do in addressing the issues, the company said the dealers would replace the brake master cylinder.

It also stated that if the master cylinder is leaking, the brake booster will also be replaced, while the repairs will be performed at no cost.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 28, 2025.

Affected vehicle owners may contact Ford customer service on 1-866-436-7332, and Ford’s number for this recall is 25S37.

This recall is an expansion of NHTSA recall number 22V-150, report stated.
