- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Navigator and Expedition vehicles. The front brake lines may contact the engine air cleaner outlet pipe and become damaged, possibly resulting in a brake fluid leak and reduced brake function.
- What it can cause
- A loss of brake function increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the front brake line and replace the brake line or air cleaner outlet pipe, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 29, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S47.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 273,789 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 96% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 45 times before this, most recently in April 2025 as 25V236000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 287 complaints with NHTSA, 129 of them before this campaign was filed. 5 of those name the service brakes, hydraulic, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in July 2022, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 17 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V368000 (structure), 26V344000 (seat belts), 26V204000 (visibility), 26V165000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on May 9, 2025 as campaign 25V314000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
