Ford Recalls 274,000 SUVs for Brake Fluid Leak

Ford is recalling nearly 274,000 SUVs in the U.S., specifically certain 2022-2024 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator models, due to a defect where front brake lines bent during assembly may contact the engine air cleaner outlet pipe and leak brake fluid, increasing crash risk. Although no accidents or injuries have been reported, Ford has received several warranty claims and customer complaints. Impacted owners will be notified by mail starting May 26, 2025, and can bring their vehicles to Ford or Lincoln dealerships for inspection and free repairs, with reimbursement available for previous repairs. This recall follows a February action involving seat belt anchor issues in other Ford SUVs. Owners can check if their vehicle is affected using a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tool or by contacting Ford. Ford is addressing the issue proactively to ensure customer safety.
