Rear Door Lock Malfunction Prompts Massive Ford Recall

Ford Motor Company has issued a recall affecting 200,000 Mustang Mach-E vehicles following reports that rear doors can remain locked after the driver exits the vehicle, potentially trapping passengers inside.

The issue, which has been under scrutiny since 2022 when Transport Canada flagged it, impacts model years 2021 through 2025. Ford has since confirmed that the problem lies in a software glitch that may fail to unlock rear doors when the battery is low or the front seat occupants exit the vehicle.

What Models Are Included?

The recall affects the following:

• 2021–2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E

This popular electric SUV has been a key part of Ford’s push into the EV market, but this software flaw now poses a safety risk. Especially for children or rear-seat passengers unable to reach the manual release latches.

What Owners Should Do

Ford is offering a free software update to correct the issue. Impacted owners can visit any Ford dealership to have the update performed, or in some cases, receive the fix over-the-air (OTA).

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has listed this campaign under recall number 25V-404. Owners should check their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at nhtsa.gov/recalls to verify if their car is affected.

At this time, no injuries have been reported, but Ford is facing criticism for not acting sooner despite early warnings.

How Ford Owners Can Take Back Control

While this recall has been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.

History Behind the Lawsuit

Ford is facing a new class action lawsuit over allegations that it knowingly sold vehicles with defective EcoBoost engines and failed to properly fix the issue.

The lawsuit, filed in June 2025, targets 1.5L to 2.0L EcoBoost engines found in popular Ford and Lincoln vehicles from model years 2013–2019. Plaintiffs claim that the engines suffer from a coolant intrusion defect, where coolant leaks into the engine cylinders. Over time, this leads to overheating, engine damage, and in many cases, complete engine failure.

Ford owners say the automaker knew about the issue for years but did not inform customers or offer a lasting solution.

Which Vehicles Are Affected

The lawsuit includes several models equipped with small EcoBoost engines:

• 2013–2019 Ford Escape
• 2013–2019 Ford Fusion
• 2015–2018 Ford Edge
• 2016–2019 Lincoln MKC
• 2016–2019 Lincoln MKZ

Owners allege that Ford applied temporary fixes, like installing coolant level sensors, instead of addressing the underlying engine design flaw. Even when short blocks were replaced under warranty, the new engines allegedly had the same defect.

What Owners Need to Do Next

The plaintiffs are seeking damages, reimbursement for repairs, and other relief for affected owners. If you owned or leased one of the vehicles listed above and experienced overheating or coolant loss, you may be eligible to join the lawsuit. Or consult The Lemon Law team for alternative options and getting the right help that may be beneficial to your case.

Ford has not issued a recall or official remedy for this defect to date.

How Ford Drivers Can Take Back Control

While this class action lawsuit has been communicated to owners, thousands of Ford drivers are likely to be affected by the same EcoBoost engine defect, with many expressing dissatisfaction over Ford’s solutions. These types of issues often lead to escalated legal action, highlighting the importance of protecting consumer rights.

Ford Recall Overview

Ford has issued a sweeping recall affecting more than 1.3 million vehicles in the United States due to a series of critical safety defects. Including one so serious that the company has urged owners not to drive their trucks until the issue is fixed.

Among the most urgent recalls is a mechanical defect involving 2,345 of Ford’s 2025 Super Duty trucks, including the F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 models. These trucks may be missing a vital brake pedal retaining spring, which secures the brake booster pushrod to the pedal. Without it, drivers could suddenly lose braking power while driving, leading to a heightened crash risk.

Ford has begun contacting affected owners and is offering free repairs and rental vehicles during service. Until the issue is resolved, the automaker has issued a “Do Not Drive” warning, urging owners to contact their local dealer immediately.

What Other Vehicles Are Affected?

The missing brake spring defect is just one part of a broader recall campaign involving more than 1.3 million Ford vehicles. Including nearly 1.1 million vehicles with faulty rearview camera software, which may cause the camera feed to freeze or fail. This can severely reduce driver visibility while reversing.

Affected models are:

• 2021–2024 Ford Bronco
• 2021–2024 Ford F-150
• 2021–2024 Ford Edge
• 2021–2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E
• 2022–2025 Ford Transit
• 2024 Ford Mustang

Approximately 200,000 Mustang Mach-E vehicles are also being recalled due to a rear door lock defect that could trap backseat passengers if the 12-volt battery is low. Although rear passengers can still exit using the manual latch if accessible, Ford acknowledged the risk and is issuing software fixes.

So far, Ford says no serious injuries have been linked to these issues, although one minor crash has been reported in connection with the camera malfunction.

What Ford Owners Should Do

Ford has already started notifying affected owners. Depending on the issue, repairs may involve a physical inspection, camera software update, or full part replacement. Most updates can be completed free of charge at Ford dealerships, and owners affected by the brake defect will receive rental vehicle support during service.

Owners should check their VIN at the NHTSA recall site or contact Ford customer service to see if their vehicle is affected.

Ford Motor Company has issued two separate safety recalls in the United States, affecting a small number of 2023–2025 SUVs. Though limited in scale, the defects pose serious safety concerns, including engine fires and potential brake failure.

History Behind the Recall

The larger of the two recalls involves 404 units of the 2023–2025 Ford Escape and 2025 Bronco Sport. Filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this safety action stems from a missing or improperly treated cylinder-head ball plug. The issue was traced back to two power outages at the supplier’s facility, which disrupted proper heat treatment of the metal components. As a result, some plugs may loosen or fall out entirely, leading to an oil leak. If leaking oil contacts hot engine parts, it could increase the risk of an engine fire.

The second, smaller recall covers just three 2025 Ford Explorer SUVs. According to Ford, these vehicles may have loose or missing front brake caliper bolts due to incomplete repairs before delivery. One customer even reported hearing a “clunking noise.” Improperly secured calipers can result in a loss of front brake function or even damage to the wheel, greatly increasing the chance of a crash.

Which Vehicles Are Affected

• Ford Escape (2023–2025) – 404 vehicles
• Ford Bronco Sport (2025) – Included in the 404-unit count
• Ford Explorer (2025) – 3 vehicles

What Owners Need to Do Next

Ford will notify affected owners by mail. Escape and Bronco Sport owners will receive free cylinder head replacements at Ford dealerships. Explorer owners will receive an inspection; if bolts are loose, they’ll be tightened. If bolts are missing, Ford will replace the caliper and pads at no charge.

For updates, owners can check their vehicle’s recall status via the NHTSA or Transport Canada websites using their VIN.

Ford Motor Company has announced a significant recall involving nearly 1.1 million vehicles in the U.S. due to a software issue that may cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze, or not display at all. This malfunction can occur during reverse, increasing the risk of a crash by impairing driver visibility.

History Behind the Recall

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) launched an inquiry in January 2025, following over three dozen complaints linked to 2021–2023 F-150 models. Ford’s engineering team replicated the defect by April, tracing the failure to specific infotainment software variants.

Although Ford has only reported one minor crash with property damage, the company is acting preemptively to prevent further risk. This is not Ford’s first encounter with rear camera issues; in April, the automaker issued two additional recalls for over 289,000 vehicles, and in November, Ford agreed to pay a $165 million civil penalty following prior delays in addressing similar defects.

Which Vehicles Are Affected

The recall includes a broad range of Ford and Lincoln models spanning model years 2021 to 2025, specifically:

• 2021–2024 Ford: Bronco, F-150, Edge
• 2023–2024 Ford: Escape, Corsair, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, F-600
• 2022–2024 Ford: Expedition, Mustang
• 2022–2025 Ford Transit
• 2021–2023 Ford Mach-E, Lincoln Nautilus
• 2024 Ford Ranger
• 2022–2024 Lincoln Navigator

These vehicles may all run infotainment software with camera display malfunctions due to a dashboard operating system bug.

What Owners Need to Do Next

Ford will issue two letters to affected owners. The first, expected by June 16, 2025, will notify them of the safety risk. A second letter will follow once the repair software is ready.

Owners will receive a free over-the-air (OTA) update or can visit a Ford dealer for manual installation. This remedy will correct the infotainment system’s ability to reliably display rearview camera footage.

Vehicle owners can also check their VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if their car is part of this recall.

How Ford Drivers Can Take Back Control

While this recall has been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.

History Behind the Class Action and Recall

Ford Motor Company is under legal scrutiny after issuing a major recall affecting its hybrid vehicle lineup – yet failing to deliver timely repairs. In January 2025, Ford recalled certain 2020–2024 Escape Plug-in Hybrid models due to overheating risks linked to the high-voltage battery. A month later, the recall was expanded to include the 2021–2024 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring Plug-in Hybrid.

These defects pose serious safety concerns, including potential electrical fires. However, despite issuing the recall, Ford has not been able to provide timely repairs or parts – leaving many drivers stuck without access to electric mode. For plug-in hybrid owners, this defeats the purpose of owning an EV and forces them to rely entirely on gasoline.

Now, a class action investigation is underway, alleging that Ford failed to meet its legal obligations by delaying fixes and causing financial harm to consumers.

Which Vehicles Are Affected

The class action lawsuit focuses on the following hybrid plug-in models:

• 2020–2024 Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid
• 2021–2024 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring Plug-in Hybrid

If you purchased or leased one of these vehicles in the past three years and are still waiting on recall-related repairs, you may qualify for legal action.

What Owners Need to Do Next

If your vehicle was subject to this battery-related recall and you’ve been forced to operate in gas-only mode due to unavailable parts or updates, you could be eligible to join a class action lawsuit or pursue your own case with The Lemon Firm. 

Owners report:

• Increased fuel costs
• Loss of electric-only driving functionality
• Decreased vehicle efficiency
• Diminished resale value

These issues go beyond inconvenience. They affect the vehicle’s promised performance and value, and under U.S. law, consumers are entitled to remedies when automakers fail to make timely repairs.

Joining the lawsuit and taking control of your situation may allow you to recover compensation for fuel expenses, loss of EV function, and the premium price paid for a hybrid that doesn’t operate as one.

How Ford Drivers Can Take Back Control

While this recall has been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further class action, just like this, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.

Ford Motor Company has issued a safety recall affecting 29,501 of its 2024–2025 F-150 Lightning electric pickup trucks sold in the United States.

Background on the Recall

The issue stems from a potential defect in the suspension control arm, which may detach while the vehicle is in motion, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected trucks may experience loss of steering control if the control arm disconnects – a serious safety concern that prompted swift regulatory action.

The issue has been formally identified by the NHTSA as a critical fault with potentially severe consequences.

Which Vehicles Are Affected

• 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning BEV
• 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning BEV

This recall only applies to the battery electric versions (BEV) of Ford’s F-150 Lightning. The defect does not currently apply to internal combustion F-150 models or other Ford trucks.

Next Steps for Owners

Ford is expected to inspect and replace the affected control arm components free of charge. Vehicle owners will be notified via mail about the recall and instructed to bring their vehicles to an authorized Ford dealer for inspection and repairs.

Official notification letters are expected to begin mailing in the coming weeks. Owners who are concerned in the meantime can check their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the NHTSA recall website to verify if their vehicle is affected.

For further questions, owners can also contact Ford customer service or visit their dealership.

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).

History Behind the Recall

Ford is recalling 149,449 units of its 2021–2024 Bronco SUVs due to a critical rear suspension issue that could result in parts detaching from the vehicle. The issue specifically affects the Bronco Badlands trim and any models equipped with the off-road Sasquatch package.

According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on January 25, 2025, the affected vehicles are fitted with rear dampers that include a remote reservoir prone to corrosion. Over time, this corrosion can cause the reservoir to detach from the damper, leading to abnormal ride quality, rattling noises, or complete detachment, a potential road hazard that may increase crash risk.

Which Models Are Affected

The recall covers:

• 2021–2024 Ford Bronco Badlands
• 2021–2024 Ford Broncos with the Sasquatch package

Ford estimates that roughly 30% of the recalled vehicles may experience the issue. The problem arises from a long-flange design used in the rear dampers, which is more susceptible to corrosion between the reservoir, the mounting flange, and the damper body. This can lead to weld fatigue and material erosion.

What Owners Need to Do Next

Although Ford has identified a solution (switching to short-flange dampers in newer production models), a final remedy for affected vehicles has not yet been released. Ford has initiated an investigation and is actively developing a fix.

Owners will begin receiving notification letters by mail starting February 7, 2025. Once a fix is available, repairs will be completed free of charge at authorized dealerships. In the meantime, owners are advised to be alert to signs such as a bouncy ride or unusual suspension noises.

To check if your Bronco is affected, visit the NHTSA Recall Lookup and enter your VIN.
