Our severity reasoning: This is a critical safety-system defect affecting brake stopping capability with documented potential for serious harm (extended stopping distance and crash risk). However, the source text does not report any deaths, injuries, or actual crashes. Per the rubric, when no illnesses or injuries are reported and the hazard is theoretical rather than confirmed, the maximum score is 3 (High).
Plain-English summary
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2025 model year vehicles: Ford Expedition, Ranger, F-150, and Bronco, as well as Lincoln Navigator. The Electronic Brake Booster (EBB) module in these vehicles may malfunction while driving or when Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features are in use.
An unexpected loss of power brake assist while driving can extend stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash. When ADAS features are engaged, a loss of power brake assist can result in the vehicle not braking as expected, further increasing crash risk.
