Ford recalls are once again in the spotlight as the automaker has announced a massive recall impacting 312,120 vehicles due to a critical issue involving the loss of power brake assist. According to the August 1, 2025, notification from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this recall is being enforced because affected vehicles may experience longer stopping distances, dramatically increasing the risk of accidents.
Among the vehicles included in this recall are several of Ford’s most popular 2025 models:
- F-150
- Bronco
- Ranger
- Expedition
- Lincoln Navigator
The underlying issue stems from the Electronic Brake Booster (EBB) module, which may malfunction either during routine driving or when Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are activated. A malfunctioning EBB can cause a sudden loss of brake assist, resulting in the vehicle not braking as expected. This concern is especially alarming when modern safety features are engaged, as it could further elevate crash risks.
- Recall Size:Â 312,120 vehicles in the U.S.
- Models Impacted:Â 2025 Lincoln Navigator, F-150, Expedition, Bronco, and Ranger.
- Issue:Â Unexpected loss of power brake assist, which increases stopping distance.
- Solution:Â Ford will update the EBB software either remotely (over-the-air) or in-person at dealerships, free of charge to owners.
