What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 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.

A total of 679 vehicles are affected by this recall. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on December 3, 2025.

Owners should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 to schedule repairs. Dealers will replace the electronic brake booster free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on February 26, 2026.
