Ford Motor Company has issued a significant safety recall affecting more than 273,000 vehicles in the United States. Here’s what you need to know.
History Behind the Recall
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall impacts select 2022–2024 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs due to a critical issue involving potential brake fluid leakage.
The problem stems from the front brake lines potentially making contact with the engine air cleaner outlet pipe. Over time, this contact can cause damage to the brake lines, resulting in brake fluid leaks. A loss of brake fluid can lead to diminished braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash without warning.
Ford has acknowledged the issue and voluntarily initiated the recall following reports of brake line damage during regular use.
Which Models Are Affected
The recall applies to:
- 2022–2024 Ford Expedition
- 2022–2024 Lincoln Navigator
In total, 273,789 SUVs are affected by this safety campaign. These are full-size vehicles commonly used for family transport, towing, and long-distance driving – making reliable braking systems especially vital.
What Owners Need to Do Next
Ford dealers will inspect the front brake lines and engine air cleaner outlet pipe. If needed, they will replace either or both components at no cost to the owner. The fix is intended to eliminate any interference between the brake lines and surrounding components, restoring proper function and safety.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by May 26, 2025. Concerned owners can also proactively check their vehicle’s recall status by visiting the NHTSA Recall Lookup tool and entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
