2022–2024 Ford and Lincoln: service brakes, hydraulic recall
A loss of brake function increases the risk of a crash.
What was reported
Source: manufacturer filing, 49 CFR Part 573Reported to NHTSA May 9, 2025 by Ford Motor Company, owners notified May 30, 2025.
What that means, in plain English
Source: WhichTrim's reading of the filing above — not NHTSA's wordingBrake line damage from contact with the air cleaner outlet pipe can cause brake fluid leak and reduced/lost braking ability, directly enabling a crash, but the filing uses hedged language ('may contact', 'possibly resulting') and no stop-drive order was issued.
Written for us by a language model from the manufacturer's filed text, which is quoted in full above. Where the two differ, the filing is the record and this is only our summary of it.
Which vehicles are covered
Source: NHTSA campaign 25V314000Vehicles built Apr 15, 2021 to Nov 20, 2024 — a VIN outside that window is not part of this campaign even if the year, make and model match.
| Model year | Class | Safety Signal | Recalls on file |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 Ford Expedition | Large SUV | F | 12 |
| 2023 Ford Expedition | Large SUV | D | 8 |
| 2024 Ford Expedition | Large SUV | F | 7 |
| 2022 Lincoln Navigator | Large SUV | F | 14 |
| 2023 Lincoln Navigator | Large SUV | D | 8 |
| 2024 Lincoln Navigator | Large SUV | F | 7 |
Those are the model years inside WhichTrim's range, 2016 onward. The campaign may cover others outside it, and the only thing that settles whether one specific vehicle is included is its VIN.
How much of it has been fixed
Source: manufacturer quarterly report, 49 CFR 573.7of the campaign
The final figure: the six quarters of reporting that 49 cfr 573.7 requires have closed.
This is the manufacturer's own cumulative count of vehicles it has inspected and repaired, divided by the vehicles the campaign covers. It files that count with NHTSA every quarter for six consecutive quarters, starting from the quarter in which owners were told a remedy was ready, and then the obligation ends — so a figure on an older campaign is where the count stopped, not where it stands today.
It rarely reaches 100%, and not because the work was not done. The same report asks manufacturers to count vehicles they could not reach at all — exported, stolen, scrapped, or simply never located — and those stay in the denominator. A low number means a lot of these vehicles are still out there unrepaired; it does not tell you which ones.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573Is 25S47 the same recall as 25V314000?
Yes. 25S47 is the number Ford Motor Company uses for this campaign in its own paperwork and in the letter it sends owners. 25V314000 is the number NHTSA files it under. One recall, two references — dealers and service departments generally quote the manufacturer's.
Does this recall repair cost anything?
No. Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety defect or a compliance failure at no charge, for vehicles up to 15 years old measured from the date of first sale. A dealer that asks you to pay for a recall repair is in the wrong.
How do I know whether my vehicle is included?
By VIN, not by model year. This campaign covers vehicles built Apr 15, 2021 to Nov 20, 2024. The manufacturer files a build range with NHTSA and only vehicles inside it are covered, so two identical-looking cars from the same year can differ. NHTSA's own lookup checks a VIN against the manufacturer's list.
What if the repair is not available yet?
It happens, and often. Manufacturers must notify owners when a defect is found even if the parts or the software are not ready, then notify them a second time once the remedy exists. The remedy filed for this campaign is described above.
What did the manufacturer say was wrong?
The problem, risk and fix quoted on this page are the manufacturer's own words as filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR Part 573. WhichTrim does not paraphrase them.
Who started this recall?
NHTSA's record credits NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. A recall can begin with the manufacturer's own testing, with a defect investigation, or with a compliance test against a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.
