Ford Recalls Over 530,000 Vehicles for Safety Issues

Ford has announced multiple recalls affecting over 530,000 vehicles in the U.S., including the Mustang Mach-E (2021–2025), Bronco, Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, and F-Series trucks, due to a range of safety defects. Key issues include a faulty child safety lock in four-door Broncos that could allow rear doors to open from the inside, posing a risk to children, and a 12V battery defect in the Mustang Mach-E that may trap rear seat occupants during emergencies. Additional recalls address seat latch failures in Explorer and Aviator SUVs, airbag deployment problems in Broncos, brake failure risks in F-Series trucks, and widespread rear-view camera malfunctions in models equipped with SYNC 4 systems. Ford leads the industry in recalls in 2025, with 78 so far. Ford advises owners to check their VINs and obtain repairs as needed, noting that not all repairs require part replacements. These recalls underscore ongoing manufacturing and quality control challenges for the company.
