2024-2025 Ford F-150, Expedition Oil Leak Recall

Why This Matters

A rapid engine oil leak can lead to serious safety hazards. If the engine experiences a sudden loss of oil, it can stall unexpectedly while driving, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, an oil leak, especially in the presence of hot engine or exhaust components, creates an elevated risk of a vehicle fire.

What's Being Recalled

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2024-2025 Ford F-150 and 2024 Ford Expedition vehicles. This recall also includes some 2024 Lincoln Navigator vehicles. The affected vehicles are equipped with a 3.5L GTDI engine. The core issue is a potentially misaligned engine cup plug, which can result in a rapid oil leak from the engine.
