    Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2015-2019 Flex, 2015 Explorer, Lincoln MKT, Lincoln MKZ, 2015-2016 C-Max, Escape, Taurus, 2016 Fusion, 2018-2019 Taurus, 2019 Lincoln MKT, Fiesta, and 2020 Mustang vehicles.

This will be a phased campaign, with the remedy becoming available in different phases based on model and model years. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on October 25, 2025. Additional letters will be mailed once the final remedy is available on each phase. Mustang owner notification letters were mailed January 2, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25SA9.

FORD'S WARRANTY SHOWS TO BE 5YR/UNLIMITED MILEAGE. FOR NOT WANTING TO WARRANTY CORROSION ISSUE.

    I HAVE A 2015 FORD EXPLORER, MY DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD PILLAR/TRIM FLEW OFF WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT STATED THEY WOULD HAVE TO DETERMINE IF THIS WAS A DEFECT. I FOUND THIS FORUM THAT HAS A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM BUT YET A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. AT THE DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE MAN STATED THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH SIDES? ODD, NOT EXACTLY THEY ARE AWARE THAT AT SOME POINT THE OTHER SIDE IS BOUND TO FLY OFF ALSO. I WAS TOLD ALTHOUGH I HAVE WARRANTY UP TO 100,000 MI, THIS IS NOT COVERED. SO NEXT STEP WAS TO CONTACT FORD WHO THEN STATED THAT THEY AND NHTSA DO RIGOROUS SAFETY TESTING AND HAVE NOT COME TO A CONCLUSION THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY THIS TRIM FLYING OFF MY VEHICLE COULD OF HIT A MOTORCYCLIST OR ANOTHER WINDSHIELD AND CAUSED DAMAGE. NOT TO MENTION, IT HIT MY WINDSHIELD BEFORE FLYING OFF THAT SCARED ME. SO APPARENTLY THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH REPORTS. AND I WAS TOLD BY A FORD CS REP THAT FORUMS ON THE INTERNET ARE NOT CONSIDERED UNLESS IT IS A FORD FORUM.

    AUGUST 24, 2015 I WAS DRIVING TO A 7:00 PM EXERCISE CLASS .I WAS TALKING TO MY MOTHER VIA BLUETOOTH WHEN I SUDDENLY BLACKED OUT AND DROVE ACROSS THE SERVICE ROAD AND ALL 4 LANES BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH OF 287 . I WAKE TO EMERGENCY RESPONDERS PULLING ME FROM THE CAR AND PUTTING ME INTO A AMBULANCE , MY MOTHER COULD HEAR ALL OF THIS. I WAS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL AND HAD MULTIPLE TESTS RUN BUT NOTHING WAS FOUND . AFTER I WAS DISCHARGED I HAD SEVERAL MORE TESTS RUN AND AGAIN NOTHING WAS FOUND. $18,000 DAMAGE TO CAR , MEDICAL BILLS , MISSED WORK AND I HAD TO RETEST TO KEEP MY DRIVERS LICENSE BUT I NEVER COULD FIND A CAUSE. SPRING 2017 A FRIEND SENT ME A ARTICLE ABOUT FORD EXPLORERS LEAKING CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE CABINS . THIS MADE COMPLETE SENSE. I PURCHASED A DETECTOR AND HAVE HAD IT TO GO OFF TWICE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE . THEY HAVE SAID THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN MODIFIED POLICE VEHICLES BUT I CAN TELL YOU BY MY EXPERIENCE THAT IS NOT TRUE.

WE ALSO NOTICED ON LONG TRIPS WE WOULD GET HEADACHES AND FEEL SLEEPY/WEAK. CALLED THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT EXHAUST ODOR, AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE 600-700 DOLLARS TO RESEAL THE CAB AND DO SOME OTHER REPAIRS. I FEEL THIS IS NOT FAIR AND THIS IS A DEFECT THE VEHICLE HAD SINCE NEW.

    AFTER 2 YEARS OF USE THE PAINT ON THE FRONT OF THE HOOD IS BUBBLING. CLEARLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS THIS IS A GARAGE CAR AND HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. ON THE ADVICE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO INDICATED THAT THIS IS NOT A UNCOMMON ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO SPEAK TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN. SO, I CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER NUMBER AND SPOKE TO JANET WHO CONTINUED TO REPEAT THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECT BECAUSE IT SHOWED UP AFTER MY ALLOTTED MILEAGE FOR WARRANTY. SHE REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR AND SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THAT CALL. AFTER THE DISTURBING CALL WITH JANET, I SPOKE WITH ANTOINETTE AND SHE TOLD ME SHE WOULD SPEAK TO THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR AND GIVE ME A CALL BACK AFTER ANOTHER DAYS SHE CALLED BACK TELLING ME THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME WITH THE COST. I CAN CLEARLY SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS DOES HAPPEN TO FORD EXPLORERS AND MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED. FORD HAS CONVENIENTLY CRAFTED THEIR CONTRACT TO EASILY EXCLUDE PAINT ISSUES DUE TO MILEAGE WHEN THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PAINT.
