WASHINGTON, D.C.: Ford is recalling more than 148,000 vehicles across two safety campaigns, according to a notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) this week.

The larger of the two recalls affects 123,611 vehicles, including certain 2017–2018 Ford F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator models. A potential brake fluid leak could reduce braking performance and increase stopping distances, the NHTSA said.

To fix the issue, Ford dealers will inspect and replace components such as the master cylinder or brake booster at no cost to owners.

A second recall involves 24,655 of Ford's 2025 Explorer SUVs. The issue relates to the powertrain control module, which may reset while the vehicle is in motion. According to the safety regulator, this could result in engine stalling or damage to the vehicle's park system.

Ford said dealers will update the vehicle's software to correct the problem, again at no cost to customers. Notification letters are scheduled to be mailed by May 26.
