<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ford’s recall nightmare continues with four new ones from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This brings the automaker’s total for the year to 108, by our count<\/a>. The latest ones affect 1.17 million Ford and Lincoln vehicles across a wide range of years and models, dating back to 2015.<\/p>\n So far this year, the automaker accounts for nearly 40 percent of all recalls, and we can only expect there’ll be more soon. Here’s a breakdown of Ford’s four latest recalls.<\/p>\n Potential Number of Units Affected: 355,656 The vehicle’s instrument panel cluster [ICP] may fail at startup, making it impossible to see the gauges or any warnings. According to the recall report<\/a>, “During the sleep entry sequence of the IPC, a CAN wakeup interrupt can occur within a narrow timeframe, resulting in a memory protection fault.” The display’s failure could increase the risk of a crash. <\/p>\n Ford has already begun to notify owners. They will need to take their vehicle to a dealer for a software update that disables the memory protection feature.<\/p>\n Potential Number of Units Affected: 499,129 The rear brake jounce hose may rupture, causing a brake fluid leak that can lead to increased pedal travel and longer stopping distances for the driver. Ford hasn’t determined the root cause of the failure, although Ford has noticed a reduced repair rate after changing the hose’s robustness in 2017.<\/p>\n Ford first learned of a potential issue in March 2021, when the NHTSA contacted the automaker<\/a>. The company will inform owners once it identifies a fix.<\/p>\n 2025 Ford Explorer Platinum<\/em><\/p>\n Photo by: Victoria Scott \/ Motor1<\/p>\n Potential Number of Units Affected: 213,121 These vehicles may have a body control module with improperly soldered components on its circuit board. This can prevent the taillights from illuminating when a trailer is connected to the vehicle’s electrical tow connector.<\/p>\n Owners may experience issues with the power window and mirror switches<\/a>, the glove box light, vanity lights, dome lamps, alarm, USB chargers, and more. They may also receive a trailer error message in the instrument display when a trailer is connected.<\/p>\n Ford will notify owners via mail, instructing them to take their vehicle to a dealer for inspection. A tech will replace the module on vehicles with fewer than 9,000 miles. Cars with more than that will undergo a test, and tech will replace the module if it’s not functioning correctly.<\/p>\n Potential Number of Units Affected: 100,900 During deployment, the side-curtain airbags may contact the inner reinforcement flange<\/a> of the B-pillar, potentially causing the airbag to tear. This could increase the risk of injury or death during an accident, and affected vehicles fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.<\/p>\n Ford began notifying owners this week, who’ll have to take their vehicle to a dealer to install protective shields for the bag.<\/p>\n Ford Just Issued Its 90th Recall This Year.
