Safety recalls — NHTSA campaigns

25V685000 2025-10-10
Equipment:electrical:engine block heater

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2016-2019 Lincoln MKC, 2016-2023 Explorer, 2019-2020 Fusion, 2019-2024 Ranger, 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair, Escape, 2021-2024 Bronco, Bronco Sport, and 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles. The engine block heater may crack and develop a coolant leak, causing it to short circuit when the block heater is plugged in.

An electrical short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.

25V442000 2025-06-27
Back over prevention:software

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Transit Connect, 2019-2020 MKZ, MKX, Edge, Continental, F-150, Nautilus, Fusion, 2019-2023 Ranger, Mustang, 2020-2021 EcoSport, Expedition, Navigator, 2020-2022 Escape, F-250 SD, Corsair, 2020-2023 Aviator, Transit, 2020-2024 Explorer, 2021-2024 Bronco Sport, and 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles. A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank image, or the image may remain on the display after the backing event has ended.

A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.

23V440000 2023-06-23
Electrical system:propulsion system:traction battery:management system/energy control module (bms/becm)

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Fusion PHEV vehicles. The battery energy control module (BECM) may become damaged due to excessive voltage and current flow.

A damaged BECM can result in a loss of drive power or fire, increasing the risk of a crash.

In owners’ own words

Other 3,000 mi 1.0 yr in service
BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN 30 DAYS AGO. WASHING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND NOTICED A HAIRLINE CRACK ON THE OUTSIDE ABOUT 4-5 INCHES LONG. NO DAMAGES OF A ROCK HITTING THE WINDSHIELD.
Other mileage not reported 3.8 yr in service
Not sure what system is causing it but my trunk keeps opening and it’s done it many while I was driving. I understand a lot of other Ford Fusion owners are having the same problem and I urge you to look into the problem as it can cause accidents and deaths.
Other mileage not reported 5.4 yr in service
My 2019 Ford fusion while driving, the trunk opens by itself. It blocks the rear view of the vehicle. I had to pull over and close it several times while driving for this. I had to put a bungee cord around the trunk to keep it from opening. The trunk opening by itself is a safety hazard and the contents of what is in the trunk it exposed. I already spent over $210 in repairs with the dealer estimating the cost would be over $1100 including the wire harness from the body control module and including the body control module if the harness does not fix this.
Electrical system mileage not reported 2.2 yr in service
THE SYSTEM BEGAN FAILING WHEN THE FIRST THE ALARM DOESN'T SET, THEN THE HORN DOESN'T WORK BUT THE VEHICLE DOES RUN
