Ford bulletin 25E10-S1
Ford filed this with NHTSA as a emissions communication dated Jul 2, 2026, received Aug 3, 2026, about the electrical system. It names 15 model years (2016–2020). A emissions communication is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
