Ford recalls its recalls

Ford recalls

While going through a Consumer Reports piece on recalls they noted a case that required four returns to the dealer to be finally fixed properly. This brought to mind that there seemed to have been a number of Ford recalls in the last few weeks that were repeats.

Sure enough, a review of NHTSA recalls found four separate repeated recalls since August 1st. On top of those are an additional six new recalls. Here they are:

• On August 18, 2024-2025 Ford Lincoln Nautilus vehicles were recalled for window automatic reversal system malfunction that were repaired incorrectly under recall 24V95.
• on the 15th, 2022 Ford F-150 vehicles were again recalled for flickering parking lights originally repaired under recalls 22V686 and 23V802,
• and on August 13, 2021 Ford Mach-E vehicles were recalled again for loss of power brake assist, repaired incorrectly under recall 24V777.

Automatic window reversals prevent what can be serious injuries if a window closes on person or pet, and the loss of power brake assist needs no further explanation.

New recalls include:

• 2025 Ford F-150 hybrid vehicles because of seat belt warning malfunction (8/1);
• 2025 Lincoln Navigator, Ford F-150, Expedition, Bronco, and Ranger vehicles again for loss of power brake assist (8/1);
• what appears to be a full repeat of that recall on August 4;
• certain 2023-2025 Ford F-150 vehicles equipped with a trailer package because rear axle hub bolt may break (8/12);
• 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, Ford Mustang Mach E, and Mustang vehicles because headlights may fail (8/14);
• and finally another (we’ve seen lots of these already) rearview camera recall on 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair vehicles (8/15).

Their dealer network will busy for some time.

For the record, the recall that needed four trips to the dealer involved some Nissan Altima models to fix a faulty hood latch. Latch failures can lead to the vehicle’s hood flying open while driving. Clearly a big problem.

The Consumer Reports article is chock full of useful recall information and can be seen here.
