The National Highway Traffic Safety Management (NHTSA) has indicated that drivers might notice increased pedal travel, requiring more force to engage the brakes.<\/p>\n<p>The recall impacts approximately 223,315 Ford Expeditions and 50,474 Lincoln Navigators from the 2022 to 2024 model years, with Ford estimating that only 1% of these vehicles may be affected.

Notifications to vehicle owners will begin on May 26. Ford encourages owners to check if their vehicle is included in the recall using the NHTSA website or Ford&#8217;s recall lookup tool, emphasizing the importance of addressing this serious safety concern quickly.This recall is part of a series of significant recalls by Ford in 2025, previously involving battery and electric vehicle defects.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Ford Motor Company has issued a massive recall of nearly 274,000 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs in the U.S. due to a brake malfunction that could prove deadly.<\/p>\n<p>The recall, reported on Tuesday by multiple outlets, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ford-recall-expedition-navigator-brake-loss-63d81f8585077e1f5f62b6763780eb41\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">including<\/a> the Associated Press, addresses a critical issue &ldquo;that may cause a loss of brake function while driving, increasing crash risks.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the defect involves the front brake lines in these vehicles potentially contacting the engine air cleaner outlet pipe.<\/p>\n<p>This contact, caused by a possible installation defect, can lead to a brake fluid leak, which may result in a complete loss of brake function.<\/p>\n<p>The NHTSA warned that drivers may experience an increase in pedal travel, meaning the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/brian-riedl-a-gop-run-house-will-fix-inflation-simply-by-stopping-bidens-enormous-spending\/\" title=\"Brian Riedl: A GOP-Run House Will Fix Inflation Simply by Stopping Biden\u2019s Enormous Spending\">brake pedal<\/a> must be pressed harder to slow or stop the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\");

The recall, which was reported on Tuesday by various sources including the Associated Press, concerns a serious problem that &#8220;may lead to loss of brake function while driving, heightening crash risks.&#8221; The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicated that the defect involves front brake lines possibly coming into contact with the engine air cleaner outlet pipe due to an installation error. This could result in a brake fluid leak and complete loss of braking ability. Drivers may notice increased pedal travel, requiring more force to slow or stop the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>If there is a leak in the brake line, fluid levels will drop over time, potentially activating the red brake warning light on the dashboard. The recall affects 223,315 Ford Expeditions and 50,474 Lincoln Navigators from model years 2022 to 2024. Ford estimates that only about one percent of these vehicles are impacted by this defect; however, as of April 17th, they had already received 45 warranty claims related to front brake line leaks according to NHTSA records.<\/p>\n<p>The risk of experiencing brake failure while driving poses serious dangers that could lead to severe accidents. Currently, Ford has stated it is not aware of any incidents or injuries directly associated with this specific braking issue. To resolve this matter, dealers for both Ford and Lincoln will inspect affected vehicles&#8217; front brake lines and replace them or the air cleaner outlet pipe if needed at no cost to owners; notifications will start on May 26th.<\/p>\n<p>Owners can verify if their vehicle is part of this recall by visiting either NHTSA&#8217;s website or using Ford&#8217;s recall lookup tool with reference number 25S47. Ford urges owners to promptly schedule inspections given the potential life-threatening nature of this defect.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t Ford&#8217;s first major recall in recent months; earlier in January they recalled over 270,000 vehicles due to battery issues and had previously recalled thousands of electric trucks for possible ball joint defects at the end of last year. Overall, Ford has faced several challenges regarding its electric vehicle lineup including overheating problems and axle defects<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2435272,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SUV-recall.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[9385,52763,8800],"class_list":["post-2435271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-cars","tag-ford-2","tag-recalls"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SUV-recall.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2435271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2435271"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2435271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2435275,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2435271\/revisions\/2435275"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2435272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2435271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2435271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2435271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
