Nearly a month ago, on May 9, 2025, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed a recall from Ford of more than one million vehicles ranging over 44 different makes and models.
“Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Bronco, F-150, 2021-2024 Edge, 2023-2024 Escape, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, F-600, 2022-2024 Expedition, 2022-2025 Transit, 2021-2023 Mach-E, 2024 Ranger, Mustang, 2021-2023 Lincoln Nautilus, 2022-2024 Navigator, and 2023-2024 Corsair vehicles,” the NHTSA announced.
The more than one million vehicles may contain a software error that can cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze, or not display when the vehicle is in reverse.
Just three weeks later, the NHTSA revealed another significant recall from the car manufacturer regarding its popular F-150 Lightning, which just surpassed Tesla’s Cybertruck as the best-selling electric truck on the market, according to Electrek.
“Certain vehicles may have an improperly torqued nut on the ball joint which secures the front upper control arm to the knuckle assembly. An improperly torqued nut on the ball joint can result in separation of the front upper control arm from the knuckle assembly,” Ford said in a statement regarding its latest recall on nearly 30,000 trucks.
As far as a remedy for the manufacturing error, Ford announced owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to inspect the torque of the left and right upper control arm ball joint nut.
“If the torque inspection passes, dealers will replace the nut. If the torque inspection fails, dealers will replace the knuckle and nut. There will be no charge for this service,” Ford announced. “Ford provided the general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners prior to notification of a safety recall in May 2023.”
Mailing of owner notification letters is expected to begin June 9, 2025, and is expected to be completed by June 13, 2025.
