Overview
Ford Motor Company has announced a safety recall affecting nearly 274,000 Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators due to a defect that may cause brake failure. The problem stems from improper assembly at the Kentucky Truck Plant, where front brake lines may rub against nearby components. Although Ford expects only 1% of the vehicles are affected and states no injuries or accidents have been reported, owners will be notified for inspections starting May 26, 2025, and can receive repairs at no cost.
