Quick answer. A recall by itself does not make a vehicle a lemon. It matters when the repair does not fix the problem after reasonable attempts, or when the manufacturer cannot complete the repair in a reasonable time. The rules differ by state. This is general information, not legal advice.

What is the defect?

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Navigator and Expedition vehicles. The front brake lines may contact the engine air cleaner outlet pipe and become damaged, possibly resulting in a brake fluid leak and reduced brake function.

What is the consequence?

A loss of brake function increases the risk of a crash.

What is the manufacturer's remedy?

Dealers will inspect the front brake line and replace the brake line or air cleaner outlet pipe, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 29, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S47.

Vehicles covered

  • Ford Expedition, 2022–2024
  • Lincoln Navigator, 2022–2024

Is your vehicle included?

  • Find the 17-character VIN on the driver-side door jamb sticker or at the base of the windshield.
  • Enter it on NHTSA's recall lookup at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows open recalls for that exact vehicle.
  • Or ask any dealer for the make. A recall repair costs you nothing.

How this recall can matter to a lemon law claim

A recall repair counts as a repair attempt when the same problem keeps coming back. Keep every repair order, with the dates the vehicle went in and came out, because days out of service can count toward your state's threshold. If the problem returns after the recall repair, that history is what a claim is built on.
