Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 2,490 vehicles, including certain 2024-2025 F-150 trucks, 2024 Expeditions, and 2024 Lincoln Navigators equipped with a 3.5L GTDI engine. These vehicles may have an incorrectly installed engine cup plug that can lead to a rapid oil leak. Ford dealers will inspect the alignment of the plug and replace it for free if necessary to prevent potential engine failure or fire.

  2. Contact a Ford or Lincoln dealer to schedule a free inspection of your engine cup plug alignment.
  3. Dealers will inspect the engine cup plug alignment, and replace the plug if necessary, free of charge.
