   Electrical System / Instrument Cluster/Panel

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019 Ford Mustang, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 19V076. At vehicle start-up, the Instrument Panel Cluster Assembly (IPC) may not function, showing a blank display. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Controls and Displays."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A blank instrument cluster that fails to display critical safety information, such as vehicle speed or safety system warnings, increases the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will reprogram the Instrument Panel Cluster Assembly (IPC) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 13, 2026. Owners may contact customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C27. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov on July 6, 2026.

   Report filed by Ford Motor Company. Manufacturer campaign number 26C27. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 13 Jul 2026.

2. 26V377000Received 9 Jun 2026. 1,013 units.

   Lane Departure / Lane Keep / Steering Assist

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019 Lincoln Nautilus vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 19V031. The lane center assist system may not adequately detect if a driver has their hands off the steering wheel for a prolonged period of time.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Failure to alert the driver with the intended hands-off the wheel warnings may increase the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will update the power steering control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 8. 2026. Owners may contact customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S44. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov on July 6, 2026.

   Report filed by Ford Motor Company. Manufacturer campaign number 26S44. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 8 Jul 2026.

3. 25V442000Received 27 Jun 2025. 200,237 units.

   Back Over Prevention / Software

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Transit Connect, 2019-2020 MKZ, MKX, Edge, Continental, F-150, Nautilus, Fusion, 2019-2023 Ranger, Mustang, 2020-2021 EcoSport, Expedition, Navigator, 2020-2022 Escape, F-250 SD, Corsair, 2020-2023 Aviator, Transit, 2020-2024 Explorer, 2021-2024 Bronco Sport, and 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles. A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank image, or the image may remain on the display after the backing event has ended.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will update the rearview camera software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S72.

   Report filed by Ford Motor Company. Manufacturer campaign number 25S72. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 4 Sep 2025.

4. 20V550000Received 10 Sep 2020. 97 units.

   Power Train / Automatic Transmission

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Edge, Transit Connect and Lincoln MKX and 2020 Escape and Lincoln Corsair vehicles. The start/stop accumulator endcap may have missing or loose bolts.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Missing or loose bolts on the start stop accumulator endcap could result in a transmission fluid leak and may progress to a loss of transmission function. A transmission fluid leak in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the start/stop accumulator, free of charge. The recall began September 23, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S49.

   Report filed by Ford Motor Company. Manufacturer campaign number 20S49. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 23 Sep 2020.

5. 20V414000Received 17 Jul 2020. 19,299 units.

   Seats / Front Assembly / Power Adjust

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Ford Motor Company, Inc. (Ford) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX and 2019-2020 Nautilus vehicles equipped with 16-way electric tilt seats. The seat cushion frame edge may contact the wire harness when the seat occupant uses the tilt function of the seat, potentially damaging one or more wires within the harness, which can result in either inadvertent deployment of the air bag or nondeployment of the air bag in the event of a crash.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   An air bag that deploys inadvertently increases the risk of a crash. An air bag that does not deploy in the event of a crash increases the risk of injury.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install protective flocking tape onto the exposed edge of the 16-way seat cushion frames, and inspect the wire harness for damage, and repair or replace it as needed, free of charge. This recall began August 12, 2020. Owners may contact Ford/Lincoln customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S37.

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019 Ford Mustang, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles.

As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Controls and Displays."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Lane Departure / Lane Keep / Steering Assist

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019 Lincoln Nautilus vehicles. The Lane Center Assist system may not adequately detect if a driver has their hands off the steering wheel for a prolonged period of time.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the system remains active despite the driver not having their hands on the wheel, the driver's inattention may increase the risk of crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record
