Ford Motor recently issued recalls of over 148,000 vehicles in the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The recent recall brings Ford up to 40 recalls for 2025. This time around, the automaker company issued a two-part recall for two separate reasons: a fluid leak in about 120,000 cars and a software issue in about 25,000 other cars. While both issues are small, they can cause serious consequences in the affected vehicles, including reduced brake function, engine stalling and even increased risk of crashing.
Here’s a list of the affected vehicles, as well as Ford’s plan to fix them.
