## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2026 Explorer, Mustang, Lincoln Corsair, and 2025 Maverick vehicles. The cylinder head may have been improperly manufactured, which can cause the ball plugs to fail, resulting in an oil leak.


## What can happen

An oil leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components increases the risk of a fire. In addition, the loss of oil can result in engine seizure and loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the cylinder head assembly, free of charge. All affected vehicles are still within dealership inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25SD3. Vehicle Identification Numbers \(VINs\) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on November 24, 2025.
