Ford Recalls Over 300,000 Cars Due to Potential Brake-Related Issue. See the 5 Affected Models
The U.S. auto giant is recalling five different models of Ford vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The latest recall comes just over a month after Ford issued one affecting nearly 200,000 vehicles due to issues involving the electrical system and the latches and locks on the cars.
In April, Ford issued a recall for two potential problems affecting more than 148,000 cars. One could cause brake fluid to leak and reduce brake functionality, while the other could cause a vehicle rollaway and a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Here's what to know about the recall issued on July 28.
Why Are Ford Vehicles Being Recalled?
The potential for an Electronic Brake Booster module to malfunction while driving or while the driver is using an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) can result in the loss of power to brake assist, according to the NHTSA.
The brake assist issue can extend the distance it takes to stop and increase the risk of a crash. If drivers are using ADAS features, a loss of power to brake assist can result in the vehicle not braking as expected, per the NHTSA.
What vehicles are part of the recall?
The recall affects the following models:
2025 Ford Bronco
2025 Ford Expedition
2025 Ford F-150
2025 Ford Ranger
2025 Lincoln Navigator
What Should You Do If Your Vehicle Is Subject to the Ford Recall?
You can take the vehicle to a dealer and have the software for the Electronic Brake Booster module updated free of charge, according to the NHTSA notice.
The software can also be updated over-the-air, meaning it can be sent remotely by Ford without a visit to a dealership.
Letters notifying owners of any vehicles subject to the recall are expected to be mailed on Aug. 25, and owners can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. The number for this recall is 25S77.

NASCAR Truck Series Driver Kaden Honeycutt Shows True Character After Being Released
NASCAR Truck Series Driver Kaden Honeycutt Shows True Character After Being Released originally appeared on The Spun. It's not too often that you see a driver sitting at sixth in the championship standings get released by his team but that was the case for NASCAR Truck Series wheelman Kaden Honeycutt on Monday. According to Niece Motorsports, the team saw fit to drop the 22-year-old Texas native after he signed a deal to race with rival OEM next season. And instead of waiting it out, the company ultimately decided that it was best to part ways immediately. Despite the kind of ugly separation, Honeycutt took the high road in a statement released across his social media accounts — which was very much celebrated by his fans. "I would like to thank Niece Motorsports, specifically Al Niece, Cody Efaw and Phil Gould, as well as Josh Morris with DQS and Jason Wilson with Precision Vehicle Logistics, for the opportunity to drive the No. 45 Chevrolet in 2025," Honeycutt said. "My plan is to continue to contend for race wins and position myself to make the playoffs this season," he added. "I look forward to sharing my plans for the remainder of 2025 and beyond in the near future." "LETS GO MAN!! They don't know what they lost," a user said. "Way better things ahead of us. Excited for what's next," another commented. "You deserved better than that s—tshow of a team, Hope you kick ass wherever you land next," a fan replied. "You don't deserve that dude. You gonna kick as wherever you go next," another person posted. "Classy statement from @KadenWHoneycutt. Much classier than I would have been if I was in his shoes," another user admitted. "Classy statement by Kaden. The last 24 hours have certainly been an ordeal." "they really cut him without at least waiting until the end of the season, Niece is cooked bro," another fan shared. "I feel so bad for you, such a brutal past 12 hours. Keep your head up and keep pushing forward you are one hell of a wheelman!" an account exclaimed. It's a pretty tough way for Niece to do business but it won't be long before Kaden lands back on his feet. Connor Zilisch will reportedly pilot the No. 45 Silverado at Watkins Glen with Bayley Currey serving as the team's driver for the remainder of the season beginning with next Friday's race at Truck Series Driver Kaden Honeycutt Shows True Character After Being Released first appeared on The Spun on Aug 4, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 4, 2025, where it first appeared.
