Ford recall 25S40
Ford calls it 25S40. NHTSA filed it as campaign 25V260000 on Apr 18, 2025: suspension on the 2025 Ford Bronco, 2 vehicles potentially affected, under a do-not-drive advisory. One recall, two numbers — the dealer quotes the manufacturer’s, the federal record carries NHTSA’s.

Two numbers, one recall
Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 25S40 is the number Ford assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 25V260000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.
The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.
Check one specific vehicle
Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
Common questions

Which vehicles does 25S40 cover?
2025 Ford Bronco, 2 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.
