Ford service campaign TSB 25-2587
Ford filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Mar 23, 2026, about the power train. It names 18 model years (2022–2025). A service campaign 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.
