2022–2024 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator Brake Line Recall

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a structural vehicle safety defect affecting the brake system. However, no injuries, deaths, or actual brake failures have been reported. The hazard is theoretical—brake lines may contact and be damaged, potentially causing brake fluid leaks and reduced brake function—but no actual incidents are documented. Per the rubric, theoretical hazards with no reported incidents score at most 3.
