Ford recall breadth and scope (late Feb–Mar 2026): Ford issued a large recall affecting several million vehicles in the U.S., including multiple 2021–2026 model years (F-150, F-250, Navigator, Expedition, Maverick, and related models) due to potential loss of brake/turn signal function or braking issues tied to the Integrated Trailer Module. Ford reported hundreds of incidents under review and is coordinating with NHTSA; there were no confirmed crashes tied to the issue as of the reporting.

A separate recall wave around March 2026: NHTSA filings showed recalls affecting more than 1.7 million Ford and Lincoln vehicles in the U.S., centering on APIM software that may overheat or fail, potentially hiding rearview camera video and impacting visibility; some other recalls involve driver-assistance-related software issues. Updates included OTA or dealer software remedies, with owner notifications slated in March 2026. [Finviz recap of NHTSA filings, 2026-03-05]
