Ford is recalling over 312,000 vehicles due to an issue with its power brake assist, which can increase the risk of a crash. The recall affects several models, including the Lincoln Navigator, F-150, Expedition, Bronco, and Ranger. The issue can be fixed with an over-the-air software update or by a dealer, both of which are free of charge. Owners can expect to receive notification letters on August 25.
Ford Motor Company has announced a significant recall of over 312,000 vehicles in the United States. The recall, which was reported by Reuters and confirmed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), is due to a potential malfunction in the Electric Brake Booster (EBB) module that could increase the risk of crashes [1].The affected models include the 2025 Lincoln Navigator, F-150, Expedition, Bronco, and Ranger. The issue can cause an unexpected loss of power brake assist while driving, which can extend stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash, especially when the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features are engaged [2].
Ford will notify owners via mail starting August 25, 2025. The recall, identified by Ford as number 25S77 and by the NHTSA as campaign number 25V488000, will be resolved with a free software update that can be performed either over-the-air or at a dealer [2].
In addition to the recall, Ford reported a narrow loss in the second quarter of 2025, despite a 5.0% increase in revenue to $50.2 billion, a record high. The loss was attributed to one-time costs related to vehicle recalls and the cancellation of an electric vehicle program, as well as the impact of tariffs projected to hit $2 billion in 2025 [1].
