- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2026 F-150 Lightning BEV, 2024-2026 Mustang Mach-E, and 2025-2026 Maverick vehicles. The integrated park module may fail to lock into the park position when the driver shifts into park. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
- What it can cause
- A loss of park function can allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- The park module software will be updated over-the-air (OTA) or by a dealer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 3, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C69. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning January 26, 2026.
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 272,645 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 2026, 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 power train 121 times before this, most recently in August 2025 as 25V512000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 7 of the 10 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 308 complaints with NHTSA, 220 of them before this campaign was filed. 51 of those name the power train, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in September 2022, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 31 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V582000 (electrical system), 26V550000 (structure), 26V487000 (structure), 26V340000 (suspension).
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 December 12, 2025 as campaign 25V863000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
