Ford F-150, Mack among NHTSA recalls

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recall notices for commercial vehicles, including certain Ford F-150 and Mack Granite models.

Owners of the affected vehicles should be contacted via U.S. mail over the next two months, but fleet and independent owners of these vehicles can contact the NHTSA Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit nhtsa.gov for more details. Here's some more information on each recall.

Ford F-150 hybrid models’ seat belt warning system malfunction

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2025 F-150 hybrid vehicles equipped with a 3.5L hybrid electric powertrain. When the driver or passenger's seat belt is not buckled and the vehicle is started, the audible warning chime may not activate as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." An audible warning chime that fails to alert occupants of an unbelted seat belt can increase the risk of injury during a crash.

This recall potentially affects 56,473 vehicles. Dealers will update the audio control module software. Owner notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed August 25. Second letters will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C31.

Ford models’ loss of power brake assist

Ford is recalling certain 2025 F-150 vehicles due to a malfunctioning electronic brake booster module. Issues can occur while driving or when the driver is utilizing an advanced driver assistance system feature, resulting in a loss of power brake assist. An unexpected loss of power brake assist while driving can extend stopping distance or result in the vehicle not braking as expected while ADAS features are engaged, both increasing the risk of a crash. The recall also affects certain Lincoln Navigator, Expedition, Bronco, and Ranger vehicles.

This recall potentially affects 312,120 vehicles. The EBB module software will be updated over-the-air or by a dealer. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on August 25. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S77.

Mack Granite models’ reduced brake function

Mack Trucks is recalling certain 2026 Mack GR trucks due to an incompatible brake drum and steer axle combination, which may cause a loss of brake function. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems." Reduced brake function can extend the distance required to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.

This recall potentially affects 36 vehicles. Dealers will replace the steer axle brake drums. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 19. Owners may contact Mack's customer service at 800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0482.
