## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2024\-2025 F\-150, Expedition, and 2024 Lincoln Navigator vehicles equipped with 3.5L GTDI engines.  The engine may have a misaligned engine cup plug, which can result in a rapid oil leak.


## What can happen

A rapid oil leak can result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.  In addition, an oil leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components, can increase the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect the engine cup plug alignment, and replace the plug if necessary, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed May 22, 2025.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 25S30.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 888\-275\-9171\) or go to nhtsa.gov.
