VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD

The defect
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Lincoln Corsair, Lincoln Aviator, and Explorer vehicles. The windshield glass may have visible air bubbles, which can obscure the driver's visibility. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 205, "Glazing Materials."
What it can cause
Reduced visibility while driving can increase the risk of a crash.
What the dealer does
Dealers will inspect and replace the windshield as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 6, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C60. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning October 27, 2025.

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 56,841 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 89% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.

Ford vehicles have been recalled over the visibility 45 times before this, most recently in October 2025 as 25V683000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 4 of the 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 145 complaints with NHTSA, 41 of them before this campaign was filed. 7 of those name the visibility, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in October 2024, 1 year before this filing.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 33 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V581000 (air bags), 26V548000 (engine and engine cooling), 26V532000 (engine and engine cooling), 26V470000 (seats).

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 October 24, 2025 as campaign 25V730000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
