How do I check whether my Ford is part of a 2025 or 2026 recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN at ford.com/support/recalls or at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Ford has issued unusually large recalls in 2025 — including rearview-camera software, transmission valve body, axle hub, engine connecting rod, and rear seat belt anchor campaigns covering 2020-2026 models. Recall repairs are performed by a Ford or Lincoln dealer at no charge.
Why does my Ford's rearview camera freeze or go black, and is there a fix?
Ford has issued multiple software recalls in 2025 and 2026 for frozen, missing, or inverted rearview camera images across Bronco, F-150, Edge, Escape, Explorer, Mustang Mach-E, Transit, Maverick, and several Lincoln models. Affected vehicles get a free over-the-air or dealer-installed software update. Check the recall status by VIN at ford.com/support/recalls.
What is Ford's BlueCruise hands-free driving system, and is it being investigated?
BlueCruise is Ford’s hands-free, eyes-on Level 2 driver-assistance system, available on the Mustang Mach-E, F-150, Expedition, and several Lincoln models on more than 130,000 miles of Hands-Free Blue Zone roads in the U.S. and Canada. NHTSA has previously opened investigations into the system following reported incidents; owners should check Ford’s BlueCruise help page for the current driver requirements and supported roads.
How do I get a Ford lemon law buyback or refund for a defective new vehicle?
Lemon law eligibility is set by state — most require a defect that substantially impairs use, value, or safety, and that the dealer has had a reasonable number of repair attempts (often three or four for the same defect, or 30+ days out of service). Start by contacting your selling dealer and the Ford Customer Relationship Center at (800) 392-3673. If unresolved, you can file with the BBB Auto Line program Ford participates in, or consult a state-licensed lemon law attorney. Document every repair order in writing.
Why did Ford move its headquarters out of the Glass House in Dearborn?
In September 2025, Ford announced it would relocate from the Henry Ford II World Center — known as the “Glass House” — to a new world headquarters campus in Dearborn. The new building opened November 16, 2025; full relocation is expected by mid-2026, after which the Glass House is slated for demolition. The corporate mailing address remains 1 American Rd., Dearborn, MI 48126.
What is the FordPass Rewards points balance worth, and how do I redeem points?
FordPass Rewards points are typically valued at one cent each ($0.01) when redeemed against eligible dealer service, parts and accessories, or as a credit toward a new vehicle purchase. New-vehicle purchases earn a one-time block of bonus points; service visits and tire purchases at participating dealers earn ongoing points. Redeem inside the FordPass app or at ford.com/fordpass/fordpass-rewards.
How long is the Ford new vehicle warranty in 2026?
Ford’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers most 2025 and 2026 models for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The powertrain warranty runs 5 years or 60,000 miles. Hybrid and electric components on the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning are covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles. Corrosion (rust-through) coverage is 5 years with unlimited mileage. Roadside assistance is included for 5 years or 60,000 miles. See ford.com/support/warranty for the current Warranty Guide PDF.
How do I contact Ford about a problem with my F-150 Lightning or Mustang Mach-E EV?
For EV-specific issues — charging, range, software updates, or the BlueOval Charge Network — call Ford’s Customer Relationship Center at (800) 392-3673 or use the chat and form options at ford.com/support/contact-ford. For charging-network help on the road, the BlueOval Charge Network app provides 24-hour support, and FordPass also surfaces nearby charging stations and status alerts.
