Recalls 2
Seats: front assembly: power adjust
- What is wrong
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025-2027 Lincoln Navigator vehicles. The Rear Audio Control Module (RACM) may inadvertently command the chauffeur seat feature, causing the front passenger seat to adjust forward, rearward, or recline unexpectedly without occupant input.
- Risk
- A front passenger seat that moves unexpectedly can contact second-row passengers, or force the front passenger into an unsafe seating position, increasing the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Dealers will update the accessory protocol interface module (APIM) and rear audio control module (RACM) software to disable chauffeur mode, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed in November 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1‑866‑436‑7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S77.

Electrical system: integrated trailer brake control
- What is wrong
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2026 F-150, 2022-2026 F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD, F-550 SD, Maverick, 2024-2026 Ranger, 2023-2026 F-600 SD, 2022-2027 Lincoln Navigator, Expedition, and 2026 E-Transit vehicles. When towing a trailer, the integrated trailer module (ITRM) may lose communication with the vehicle, possibly causing a loss of brake and turn signal lights, or a loss of brake function. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, " Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- Risk
- Trailer lights or brakes that do not function can reduce the driver’s ability to control the trailer and decrease the trailers visibility to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- The integrated trailer module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 25, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1‑866‑436‑7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C10. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on beginning March 17, 2026.
