Recalls aren’t uncommon in the car world — they happen, and most of the time, it’s no big deal. But when a company drops six in one go, covering more than half a million vehicles, it’s hard not to raise an eyebrow.

That’s exactly what Ford just did, issuing a fresh batch of safety recalls that span everything from faulty brakes to finicky door latches and misbehaving seats. The lineup of affected models reads like a who’s-who of the current Ford garage: Mustang Mach-E, Bronco, Explorer, Aviator, and Super Duty trucks.

If you’re behind the wheel of a Ford made between 2020 and 2025, now’s the time to pay attention. Below, we break down each recall—what’s going wrong, which models are involved, and what Ford’s doing to make it right.

Ford Hits the Brakes Again With Major New Recall

Ford has announced three new recalls affecting some of its most popular models, including the F-150.

Mustang Mach-E Doors Might Not Let You Out

NHTSA Recall Number: 25V404000

• Affected Units: 197,432
• Models: 2021–2025 Mustang Mach-E
• Components: Electrical System, Latches/Locks/Linkages

The Problem

When the battery charge runs low, the electronic door latches might not unlock the way they’re supposed to after someone gets out and shuts the door. That means a rear passenger — possibly a child — could get stuck inside.

The Fix

Ford’s tackling the issue with a free software update for both the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Secondary On-Board Diagnostic Control Module C (SOBDMC). Initial owner letters start rolling out June 23, 2025, with full notifications expected by September 29.

• Ford Recall Number: 25S65

Unexpected Brake Trouble for Ford Super Duty Owners

NHTSA Recall Number: 25V401000

• Affected Units: 2,345
• Models: 2025 F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD, F-550 SD
• Components: Hydraulic Service Brakes

The Problem

Some Super Duty trucks may have left the factory without a crucial piece — the spring that holds the brake booster pushrod in place. Without it, the brake pedal could disconnect entirely, leading to a total loss of braking — and yes, it’s not the first time Ford’s trucks have faced brake drama.

The Fix

Ford’s telling owners to park their trucks and keep them parked until they’re checked out. Dealers will inspect and fix the brake pedal assembly at no cost, with notification letters reportedly sent out starting June 18, 2025.

• Ford Recall Number: 25C26

Bronco Child Locks Could Let Kids Open Doors Unexpectedly

NHTSA Recall Number: 25V397000

• Affected Units: 27,768
• Models: 2025 Ford Bronco (Four Door)
• Components: latches/Locks/Linkages

The Problem

Even with the child safety lock turned on, the left rear door might still open from the inside. That’s a serious safety risk for little ones riding in the back.

The Fix

Ford dealers will check the door latch and swap it out if necessary — all at no cost to owners. Expect letters to start arriving around June 23, 2025.

• Ford Recall Number: 25S64

Bronco’s Passenger Airbag Might Not Deploy When Needed

NHTSA Recall Number: 25V396000

• Affected Units: 2,272
• Models: 2025 Ford Bronco
• Components: Air Bags

The Problem

A vent flap on the passenger side could get in the way of the airbag deploying properly. This not only breaks safety standards but also raises the risk of injury in a crash.

The Fix

Ford dealers will swap out the passenger-side airbag module to fix the issue. Owners will get an initial letter around June 28, 2025, followed by a second notice when the repair is ready.

• Ford Recall Number: 25C27

Mustang Mach-E Could Roll Away Without Warning

NHTSA Recall Number: 25V394000

• Affected Units: 276
• Models: 2025 Mustang Mach-E
• Components: Powertrain

The Problem

A faulty park rod might not fully lock the car when you shift into park, which means your Mustang Mach-E could roll away unexpectedly. This breaks federal safety rules and definitely isn’t something to overlook.

The Fix

Ford dealers will swap out the transmission park rod assembly at no cost to you. Look for owner letters starting around September 22, 2025.

• Ford Recall Number: 25C25

Explorer and Aviator Seats Could Shift on Their Own

NHTSA Recall Number: 25V393000

• Affected Units: 304,662
• Models: 2020–2025 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator
• Components: Seats

The Problem

The easy-entry switch on the second-row outer seats can get stuck or jammed, making the seat unlatch, fold, or slide on its own while you’re driving. That’s a big safety concern you don’t want to ignore.

The Fix

Ford dealers will check the switch bezel and replace it if needed. Owners should expect letters starting June 23, 2025, with follow-ups once the fix is ready.

• Ford Recall Number: 25S67

Here’s What You Should Do

If your Ford is affected by any of these recalls, don’t wait—contact your local dealer or call Ford Customer Service at 1-866-436-7332. Repairs are free, but for serious issues like brake or park rod problems, it’s best not to drive the vehicle until it’s fixed.

Keep an eye on official Ford recall updates, and you can always check your vehicle’s status by entering its VIN into the NHTSA recall lookup tool. Staying informed is the best way to keep safe.
