What This Recall Means

Component

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:HARD PARTS INTERNAL/MECHANICAL

What Happened
The engine in your Explorer, Ranger, or Bronco is the heart of the vehicle. In some 2025-2026 models, a critical internal part could fail without warning.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, you'll suddenly lose power while driving, which can make it harder to control your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will replace the entire engine with a brand-new one, free of charge. This repair is scheduled to start in November 2026, but in the meantime, you'll receive a safety notice with more information. You can also contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 for more details.
