Ford's Recall Process Shows No Signs of Slowing Down | Carscoops

      The Blue Oval is recalling 312,120 trucks and SUVs due to a braking concern.

      The issue with the electronic brake booster can lead to a loss of brake assist, affecting models such as the Bronco, Ranger, Expedition, F-150, and Lincoln Navigator.

      Ford's recall situation is reminiscent of a runaway train, fittingly symbolizing their 94th campaign of the year, which relates to an unexpected loss of brake assist. This complication can extend stopping distances, potentially resulting in accidents.

      This extensive recall encompasses 312,120 vehicles from the 2025 model year, including several of the brand's most favored trucks and SUVs, such as the Bronco, Ranger, Expedition, F-150, and Lincoln Navigator.

      According to the safety recall report, the company detected a vehicle exhibiting a loss of brake boost in mid-May. This led to an investigation that revealed other drivers had also experienced the same issue.

      Eventually, the company found that the electronic brake booster module “may enter into a faulted state while driving, leading to a loss of brake boost until the module completes a sleep cycle when the vehicle is turned off.” Disturbingly, this ‘failure’ can also occur when driver assistance features are in use.

      Ford identified the issue as stemming from an electronic brake booster motor that is “sensitive to typical, yet infrequent voltage fluctuations.” As explained by the government, a voltage change can result in a temporary current increase, causing the motor to shut down.

      Ford is aware of 37 warranty claims and one reported low-speed accident related to this problem, but fortunately, no injuries have been documented.

      To resolve the issue, Ford and Lincoln will provide an update to the electronic brake booster software through an over-the-air update. Vehicle owners may also visit a dealership to have technicians install the software.

      The update is expected to be made available later this month and will “adjust the module’s response to normal but infrequent voltage fluctuations, ensuring that brake boost capability is sustained in these situations.”
