What is wrong

As a result, the second-row passenger could become trapped between the seat and the seatback. Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with memory seats.

Why it matters

A seat that reclines on its own could increase the risk of injury and/or entrapment.

What the dealer will do

14 July 2026

Transport Canada lists: Explorer 2020–2026 · Aviator 2020–2026

What is wrong

On certain vehicles the recall repairs completed by a Ford dealer during recall 25S67 (Transport Canada recall no. 2025-328) may not be effective. As a result, a second repair is required. On certain vehicles, the trim for the seat fold switch on the second-row outboard seats could become stuck. If this happens, the seat(s) could fold and/or move unexpectedly. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2025-328. Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.

Why it matters

A seat that folds and/or moves could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the seat fold switch trim and housing for one with an improved design.

Transport Canada recall 2026159 · manufacturer campaign 26S22

1 April 2026

Transport Canada lists: Explorer 2026 · Aviator 2026

What is wrong

On a small number of vehicles, the ground connection for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) blower motor may not have been secured properly. As a result, the defroster could stop working, and you may not be able to defog or defrost the windshield.

Why it matters

A windshield defroster/defogger that doesn't work could cause reduced visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, secure the ground connection(s) in the instrument panel.
