Ford recalls 312,000 vehicles over brake failure risk
(NewsNation) — Ford Motor Company is recalling more than 312,000 U.S. vehicles because of a potential loss of power brake assist, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The issue involves a faulty electronic brake booster module that may fail during driving or while using advanced driver assistance systems, increasing the risk of a crash.
The recall affects certain 2025 Lincoln Navigator, F-150, Expedition, Bronco, and Ranger vehicles, including:
- 2025 Ford F-150: 217,969 units built between May 8, 2024, and June 9, 2025
- 2025 Ford Bronco: 39,913 units built from May 31, 2024, to June 17, 2025
- 2025 Ford Expedition: 26,582 units built from Nov. 8, 2023, to June 9, 2025
- 2025 Ford Ranger: 20,522 units built from Feb. 5, 2024, to June 20, 2025
- 2025 Lincoln Navigator: 7,104 units built from Nov. 9, 2023, to June 9, 2025
Because these vehicles were not assembled in VIN order, owners are urged to check their vehicle’s recall status directly with Ford.
The loss of power-brake assist can extend stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash and can result in a vehicle not braking as expected when the advanced driver assistance system is engaged, the NHTSA said.
Ford will update the module software at no cost, either through a remote update or a dealership visit. Owners can call Ford at 1-866-436-7332 or contact a local Ford or Lincoln dealer for more information.
