Ford's Safety Recall Expands to 227,000 More Vehicles as Record-Breaking Year Continues 

It's been a tough year for Ford, which is issuing yet another recall due to safety concerns.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced on Thursday that the Detroit-based automaker is recalling 227,006 vehicles in the U.S., including 163,256 Bronco SUVs fitted with faulty front seats that may have loose bolts.

Then there's the recall of 56,841 Lincoln and Explorer vehicles manufactured with visible air bubbles in the windshields, as well as 6,090 Econoline vans with faulty defrosting and defogging systems.

As part of the nationwide recall, Ford will fix the repairs free of charge.

Yet Another Recall

It's hard to believe, but recall comes just 24 hours after Ford recalled 175,000 Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator SUVs, and F-series trucks, which were manufactured with defective moonroof wind deflectors that were detaching.

Earlier this month, Ford also recalled more than 1.4 million vehicles due to faulty rearview cameras, following reports of distorted, intermittent, or blank images being displayed. The affected vehicles included the Explorer, Taurus, C-Max, Escape, Flex, Fusion, Fiesta, Mustang, Lincoln MKZ, and MKT.

Record Year of Ford Recalls

According to Fox Business, Ford has now issued a record 120 safety recalls in 2025.

Brian Moody, executive editor at Autotrader, told the business news outlet that recalls are not a big deal because it means the system is working, and automakers are acknowledging the problem themselves.

That being said, the record amount of recalls can be cause for concern because this means "Ford has stumbled with regard to quality."
