Ford Motor Company has issued four new recalls impacting over 335,000 vehicles, including a serious “Do Not Drive” order for certain Super Duty trucks due to a critical brake failure risk.

The latest recalls bring Ford’s total for the year to 76 separate safety actions—more than any other automaker, including General Motors, Toyota, Honda, and Volkswagen.

1. Super Duty Trucks: Sudden Brake Failure

Vehicles affected:

  • 2025 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550

  • Built between March 19 and May 4, 2025

  • 2,345 total units

Problem: Some trucks may be missing a brake booster pushrod retaining spring, which can cause the brake pedal to disconnect, leading to total brake failure.

Ford’s response: The error was linked to an assembly line worker who was still in training. Ford and federal regulators have issued a “Do Not Drive” order for affected trucks.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and install the missing spring if needed. Owner notifications began going out on June 18.

2. Mustang Mach-E: Rollaway Risk

Vehicles affected:

Problem: A manufacturing defect left a burr on the transmission park rod, preventing the vehicle from properly engaging in “Park.” This could allow the vehicle to roll away when parked.

Fix: Dealers will replace the transmission park rod assembly free of charge. Owners will be notified starting in July 2025.

3. Ford Bronco: Faulty Child Locks

Vehicles affected:

  • 2025 four-door Bronco

  • 27,768 units built between January 21 and April 29, 2025

Problem: The left rear door can be opened from the inside even if the child lock is engaged. Ford attributes this to part interference, causing the child lock to malfunction.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the rear door latch if necessary. Notification letters begin on June 23.

4. Explorer and Aviator: Loose Second-Row Seats

Vehicles affected:

  • 2020–2025 Ford Explorer

  • 2020–2025 Lincoln Aviator

  • 304,662 units

Problem: The second-row seat switch bezel may have been installed incorrectly, causing the seat to unexpectedly fold or slide forward, including while driving or during a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the faulty bezel if needed. Notifications begin on June 23.
