Service bulletins for the 2025 Lincoln Navigator

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

Bulletins, newest first
SSM 538672025-06-11. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; STRUCTURE:BODY. Some 2025 Expedition/Navigator vehicles may exhibit diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1557:31 in the rear gate trunk module (RGTM) when a diagnostic self-test is performed. If no other symptoms, DTCs or conditions are identified, no further action is required. Replacement and/or reprogramming of the RGTM will not resolve this condition.
SSM 538662025-06-11. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; STRUCTURE:BODY. Some 2025 Expedition and Navigator vehicles may exhibit a power liftgate/tailgate inoperative condition with or without diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in the rear gate trunk module (RGTM). A liftgate/tailgate ajar light may also be displayed in the center display. This may be due to the software in the RGTM. To correct the condition, reprogram the RGTM using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS). If the condition remains, continue with normal diagnostics per the Workshop Manual (WSM). For claiming, use causal part 14B291 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
SSM 538642025-06-11. Service bulletin. STEERING. Some 2025 Navigator vehicles may set diagnostic trouble code (DTC) U0415 in the power steering control module (PSCM) when a diagnostic self-test is performed. This may be due to PSCM DTC sensitivity during vehicle key on/start-up. Replacement or reprogramming of the PSCM will not resolve this condition. U0415 should be ignored and no further service action is required if no other DTCs are present in the PSCM, no warning indicators are illuminated while the engine is running, and no symptoms present.
SSM 538622025-06-11. Service bulletin. UNKNOWN OR OTHER; BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING; VISIBILITY/WIPER; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2025 Expedition/Navigator vehicles may experience a "Cross Traffic Alert/Side Obstacle Detection Fault" message in the instrument panel cluster (IPC) with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B15D9:78 stored in the SODL and/or DTC B159C:78 stored in the SODR. Before proceeding with normal Workshop Manual (WSM) diagnostics in Section 419-04, raise the vehicle and carefully inspect both the SODL and SODR modules for proper attachment on the mounting sheet metal, ensure all clips are fully seated (module properly attached) and repair as necessary.
SSM 538592025-06-02. Service bulletin. VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. Some 2025 Expedition/Navigator vehicles may exhibit an illuminated anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning indicator with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) U3012:68 stored in the ABS module. The vehicle may also exhibit any of the following symptoms: a soft brake pedal following vehicle start-up, various brake system illuminated warning lamps and/or brake-related messages displayed in the instrument panel cluster (IPC).
SSM 538422025-06-02. Service bulletin. VISIBILITY/WIPER. Some 2025 Expedition/Navigator/Nautilus customers may state that their windshield mounted toll road, home access, or other radio frequency identification (RFID) transponders are not working.
SSM 538242025-05-28. Service bulletin. SEATS. Some 2025 Expedition/Navigator vehicles equipped with 3rd row power seats may experience an inoperative power fold condition when a power fold seat control switch button is pressed (3L, Both or 3R).
SSM 537592025-05-13. Service bulletin. UNKNOWN OR OTHER. After replacement of any TRON module, the gateway module (GWM) and the TRON capable modules can set diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) U211A, U211B, U211C, U3034, U3035, U3036, U35D9, U35DA and/or U35DB if the secret authentication security keys are not aligned between the modules, a loss of communication is occurring between modules and/or a module is not responding. This may be a result of missing the new module secret authentication security key obtained when running the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) "Trusted Real-Time Operation Network (TRON) Module Authentication" procedure after replacement. When replacing a TRON capable module, run the FDRS "Trusted Real-Time Operation Network (TRON) Module Authentication" procedure in the GWM tool box, not in the toolbox of the module with the DTC's, to distribute a new set of secret authentication security keys to all TRON-capable modules. Using the specific vehicle identification number (VIN), refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 418-00 and 418-01 for updated DTCs, applicable TRON module listings and pinpoint tests.
SSM 536832025-05-01. Service bulletin. UNKNOWN OR OTHER. Some 2025 F-150/Expedition/Navigator/Bronco/Ranger vehicles may exhibit diagnostic trouble code (DTC) U3012:68 stored in the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module with a soft brake pedal following vehicle start-up with various brake system illuminated warning lamps and/or brake-related messages displayed in the instrument panel cluster (IPC). This may be due to a controller area network (CAN) communication concern within the ABS module. Replacement of the ABS module will not resolve this condition. To resolve this condition, place the vehicle in park. Disengage the park brake. Turn the vehicle off. Close all doors and liftgate/tailgate. Allow the vehicle to sit for 5 minutes to allow all vehicle modules to power down. Restart the vehicle. Verify brake functionality and clear any DTCs. Pressing unlock/lock button on the key fob, opening the doors/liftgate/tailgate or keeping the key fob within 30 ft (8 meters) of the vehicle can prevent the modules from powering down completely. Inform customers that they can continue to drive the vehicle and engineering is currently working on a solution for this condition
SSM 536812025-05-01. Service bulletin. UNKNOWN OR OTHER. Some 2025 Expedition/Navigator vehicles equipped with third row power seats may experience an inoperative power fold condition when a power fold seat control switch button is pressed (3L, Both or 3R). This may be due to the software within the seat control module J (SCMJ). Third row seat power fold function can be restored by performing the following updated relearn procedure: 1. Start the vehicle and open the power liftgate/tailgate. 2. Remove all items from the 2nd and 3rd row seats including any obstructions that can prevent the third-row seats from folding/unfolding. 3. Push and hold the power fold seat control switch button labeled Both for 1 minute. The seats will begin to move. 4. Once the seats have stopped, hold the both button for an additional 5 seconds. 5. Verify correct power fold operation has returned to the third-row seat by pressing the 3L and 3R buttons independently. If the third-row power fold function remains inoperative after performing the revised relearn procedure, continue with normal Workshop Manual (WSM) diagnostics located in Section 501-10C.

Some 2025 Expedition/Navigator vehicles may exhibit diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) B150D:55 and/or B150C:55 stored in the audio control module (ACM) when a diagnostic self-test is performed. If no other symptoms, DTCs, or issues are identified, no further action is required. Replacement and/or reprogramming of the ACM will not resolve this condition.
SSM 536432025-04-23. Service bulletin. UNKNOWN OR OTHER. Some 2025 Expedition/Navigator vehicles may exhibit diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) B144F:19, B144F:13, B1557:19, B1557:31 and/or B15E8:19 in the rear gate trunk module (RGTM) when a diagnostic self-test is performed. If no other symptoms, DTCs, or issues are identified, no further action is required. Replacement and/or reprogramming of the RGTM will not resolve this condition.
SSM 536392025-04-16. Service bulletin. UNKNOWN OR OTHER. Some 2025 Expedition/Navigator vehicles may exhibit a failure to communicate with state emissions testing equipment due to equipment that has not been updated to be compatible with the new testing protocols.

This may be a result of missing the new module secret authentication security key obtained when running the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) "Trusted Real-Time Operation Network (TRON) Module Authentication" procedure after replacement. When replacing a TRON capable module, run the FDRS "Trusted Real-Time Operation Network (TRON) Module Authentication" procedure to distribute a new set of secret authentication security keys to all TRON-capable modules.
