Ford Motor Company is recalling three 2025 Explorer vehicles because the bolts that secure the front brake calipers may not have been tightened properly. This assembly defect can lead to a loss of front braking function or cause damage to the wheels. Dealers will inspect the bolts and tighten them for free; if the bolts are missing, the brake caliper and pads will be replaced at no charge.
If the brake caliper bolts are loose or fall out, the driver may experience a sudden loss of front braking power, and the loose parts could damage the wheel. Either situation significantly increases the likelihood of a crash.
You have 2 options:
Inspection and tightening of brake caliper bolts
Replacement of brake caliper and pads
Ford recall number 25S60; NHTSA Campaign Number 25V371.
