ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Lincoln Nautilus, 2023-2025 Escape, 2023 Lincoln Corsair, 2025 Lincoln Corsair, Maverick, and Bronco Sport vehicles equipped with a 1.5L or 2.0L MPC engine and an engine block heater. The engine block heater may overheat when the vehicle is parked with the block heater plugged in.
- What it can cause
- An overheated engine block heater can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the block heater element and inspect the electrical cord, replacing it if necessary, free of charge. Owners will also have a alternative option to replace engine block heater element with a threaded blanking plug coupled, and remove the block heater electrical cord. Owner notification letters were mailed June 9, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S52.
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 6,781 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 77% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 83 times before this, most recently in April 2025 as 25V272000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 9 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 313 complaints with NHTSA, 66 of them before this campaign was filed. 93 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in July 2023, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 37 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V340000 (suspension), 26V239000 (equipment), 26V201000 (air bags), 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 23, 2025 as campaign 25V343000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
