Thanks for the heads up.
Here’s some more I just found.

Goodbye Ford - launches one of the largest recalls in its history, with more than 1,000,000 cars affected by serious safety issues

Ford isn’t having its month, nor its year, nor perhaps even its decade… Once again, Ford Motor Company has just announced that it has to recall more than one

And just think, we're only 1/2 way thru 2025..

Perhaps it's time to ditch any FoMoCo stock you might own, wait for it to bottom out, then rebuy it at .10-20 cents on the dollar, like I have done several times with some other stocks.... the ole "buy low, sell high" thingy

Two days later Ford issued its 70th safety recall involving two separate models with potentially defective engine cylinder heads that could leak oil and cause a fire or damage the engine.

On June 18, 2025, Ford issued four more safety recalls, bringing the year-to-date total to: 76.

One recall involves brake failure on 2025 Super Duty trucks, with an advisory to not drive the vehicle until inspected and repaired.

More than doubling the previous record held by GM. And I love the pressers trying to spin it as a good thing for "safety transparency". Let's be clear, if they didn't have to disclose these for safety reasons, no company would. Cutting corners is Job #1.

It looks like Ford has their priorities right, where they are making the information public before an event.

Just my opinion, but it is hard to confess to a design issue that Might result in a failure. I see all of the cost cutting in the 2026 and what is perceived as "Good engineering" by removing parts or material, however every vehicle that I buy gets looked over in the right spots: Where the machine needs to be overbuilt. Most of the cost cutting on the 2026 Ford is in the parts that don't seem to matter much.

The 5/5 NHTSA rating is one of the more important things that I look at. That is a real figure tested in a real lab.

What is also important to me: The steering system is much more complicated today and that is where I am staying focused for recalls. Throttle control is the next big thing, where brakes, as found, even if the automation fails they should still work.

Ford versus GM?.... I will take the Expedition over the Yukon any day and I was born a GM gearhead. Both car makers have certain details that make them appealing to different people, but I am sold on Ford for now.

The 5th Generation has flaws and I am going to put them out there, and also offer options to make the flaw less painful.

Ford's been under additional NHTSA scrutiny since 2024, when they got fined for delays in recalling vehicles with malfunctioning backup cameras. Call me a pessimist, but how many of these "proactive" recalls would they have issued without the NHTSA hovering over their shoulder? I think it's no coincidence that their annual recall total hovered between 54 and 68 from 2021-2024 and then skyrocketed as soon as additional oversight of their operations was mandated.

Going through the whole list of 2025 Ford recalls, a decent amount are for relatively low-stakes issues like backup camera glitches but there's enough there to make me concerned about build quality for the foreseeable future.

I just took my 2017 in to do the 2nd Brake Master Cylinder Recall.

This vehicle got new pads, rotors and brake flush 11 months / 5000mi ago and the brakes were perfect when I dropped it off. It is the same dealer that did the brake work last March.

When I picked it up, the pedal travel was 2+ inches longer before engagement started and then soft. OK if pumped 2-3 times. Obviously did not bench bleed the new master cyl correctly before install or bleed the system correctly after.

Took it back and explained the problem verbally and in writing. Service Writer (I hate this system where can't speak to the person doing the work) called me the following morning and told me NTF (no trouble found), come and pick it up. I responded, NFW (No F-ing Way), I'll come and drive it and if not perfect, it stays with you until it is.

So I'm thinking
A) The tech that did the work F-ed up and when it came back to him he fixed it and either he or dealer management will not admit to any wrong doing.
or
B) It is still F-ed up and when I get there and drive it, it is going to be the same and stay there. Then we are going to have a major problem.

We spend winters in FL and my well equipped garage / shop is 1260 miles from me now, so I can't just fix it, but shouldn't have to do that anyway.

Does anyone have access to the dealer version of this recall notice? If so can you post or pm to me?

TIA

Thank you Phoenix Guard and Glenn,

That's what I value to see: Facts

After reading through each NHTSA event for Ford recalls 2025, there a few that would truly concern me, however as a product being sold by what was a leader in Quality, I would be very concerned overall.

My thought is to experience a baseline product and test it and then note what was added removed from that year into the following years. The new parts, anything aluminum cast or re-engineered smaller with the same load, I would be suspicious and need to validate. On the 25AF Expeditions (5th Gen), the software, HMI's, nodes, power supplies and field devices are all new and have me concerned, however, I bought in to the experiment and plan to see it through.

The facts stated in this thread and others are real, and I have some trust in the NHTSA. However when it comes to machinery, I have to validate just about everything, trusting few. Flying in a plane brings all sorts of thoughts to mind that I have to suppress, since I need to fly and we take our chances in order to get things done. The cars on the road are one the greatest unrealized risks of them all when it comes to putting your life on the line.

Some people will have to trust a dealer, or a mechanic, but as long as I am able, that person will not be me.

Sorry for the rant (I am venting my anger at Ford Motor Company for letting me down).

***UPDATE***
As suspected, when I returned to pickup the vehicle, the brakes were again good. Service writer tells me they re-bled the brakes.

HaHa Or as my dad used to say: "There is never enough money to do it right, but always enough money to do it over". The greatest generation had it pretty much figured out. We need to be taking many more pages out of their playbook.

And that's just recalls. It blows my mind that a company needs a reserve of over $16B to cover warranty costs in general. From what I saw in some of my investor reports, it appears they were averaging between $1.5B to $2B a quarter in warranty claims. Recalls are one thing, but for those of us that have had say 2-3 phaser replacements, tranny rebuilds that turn into replacements, etc. It's nutso!

I read a different article yesterday of Ford’s 2026 vehicle safety recalls and some already involve 2026 and 2027 model year vehicles.

That’s interesting.
I don’t see 2027 model year Expeditions as being available for order.
I have one on order that’s due to deliver in June that is still a 2026.
