Ford Motor Company just announced its largest ever recall of more than 270,000 of its electric and hybrid vehicles. This move follows a pattern of safety-driven decision-making given the risk of dangerous roll-away incidents. The recall, which includes specific models from 2022 through 2026, was officially posted on December 19, 2025, at 10:36 am.
The recall impacts certain model year 2022-2026 F-150 Lightning battery electric vehicles (BEVs). They include certain 2024-2026 Mustang Mach-E models and some 2025-2026 Maverick trucks. Ford’s announcement is a welcome reminder of the company’s deep-seated respect for customer safety. It emphasizes the importance of addressing public risks across its fleet of cars.
The recall announcement shows that a deadly defect led to an easily preventable death. This defect may prevent these vehicles from deploying their parking brakes properly. This failure increases the risk of unexpected movement. As such, roll-away incidents are possible, threatening the lives of both their occupants and any bystander. Ford is strongly encouraging owners of these vehicles to take needed precautions until repairs can be completed.

This latest prompt update is another step by Ford to ensure customers are aware of safety recalls that may affect their vehicles. The company says it will publicly provide further details on the remedy and repair processes soon. Affected owners should look for these improvements in the coming weeks.
Ford has set up an online process for customers to look up their vehicle identification number (VIN) to see if it is on the recall list. Owners who know their vehicles are part of this recall are encouraged to call their nearest dealership for more details. The automaker is currently focused on providing support. They are here to assist you in addressing the risks of this urgent safety problem until a long-term fix is implemented.
