Ford and Lincoln windshields may have visible air bubbles

Ford is recalling certain 2025-2026 Lincoln Corsair, Lincoln Aviator and Explorer vehicles because the windshield glass may have visible air bubbles that obscure the driver's visibility.

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: Rubric level 3 covers risk-of-harm where injury has not yet been reported: the defect obscures part of the driver's view while the vehicle retains control, propulsion and braking, and no incidents are recorded.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2025-2026 Lincoln Corsair, Lincoln Aviator and Explorer vehicles. About 56,841 units are potentially affected.

The windshield glass may have visible air bubbles, which can obscure the driver's visibility. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 205, "Glazing Materials".
