Ford Motor Company has issued a trio of recalls affecting a total of 100 vehicles, spanning several key models across its 2022 and 2025 lineups. The recalls, announced by a U.S. government agency, involve the 2025 Ford F-150 and Ranger pickups, as well as the 2022 Lincoln Navigator SUV, each presenting distinct safety and operational concerns.
2025 Ford F-150: Engine Wiring Risk Could Cause Shutdown
The largest of the three recalls targets 40 units of the 2025 Ford F-150 equipped with 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engines. Ford has identified a risk stemming from improper routing of the engine coolant hose, which may come into contact with the engine wiring harness. This contact could lead to friction damage or even disconnection of the powertrain control module (PCM) connector pins, potentially resulting in an unexpected engine shutdown — a serious safety hazard.
According to the automaker, the root of the problem lies in insufficient protective measures where the coolant hose was attached to the wiring harness. To correct the issue, Ford dealers will inspect the wiring harness for damage, install a protective sleeve if necessary, and reposition the coolant hose clip to prevent future contact.
2022 Lincoln Navigator: Lighting Software Glitch
In a separate recall, eight units of the 2022 Lincoln Navigator luxury SUV are being called back due to a suspected software error. The glitch could cause a loss of both the daytime running lights and side marker lights, compromising vehicle visibility and increasing the risk of accidents.
Ford attributed the issue to a tool that failed to load the correct software during production. Affected owners will be asked to visit an authorized dealership to receive a software update for the headlight control module, restoring proper lighting functionality.
2025 Ford Ranger: Dashboard Display Malfunction
The third recall impacts 45 units of the 2025 Ford Ranger, citing improperly configured dashboards that prevent vital warning indicators and gauges from displaying correctly. Critical systems affected include the fuel gauge, forward collision warning system, and various other driver alerts.
Ford has acknowledged six warranty claims tied to this defect. As a remedy, dealers will reconfigure the instrument clusters to ensure accurate and reliable display of all essential vehicle information.
What Owners Should Know
Ford will be notifying affected owners directly and encouraging them to schedule service appointments at authorized dealerships. All necessary repairs and software updates will be performed free of charge.
While the scope of the recalls is relatively small, they underscore the ongoing challenges automakers face in balancing increasingly complex vehicle technologies with consistent manufacturing quality. Owners are advised to monitor recall databases or contact Ford customer service to confirm whether their vehicle is affected.
