Ford's number for this recall is 26S74. Vehicle Identification Numbers involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 9, 2026.

Recall repairs are free at the brand's dealers, no matter who owns the car now.

What to do now

1. Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls – it shows whether this recall is open on your exact car. Your VIN is on the driver-side dashboard (look through the windshield) and on your registration.
2. If it is open, call a Ford dealer to book the free repair. Ask how long parts will take if the remedy is not ready yet.
3. A mobile mechanic cannot do recall work – only the brand's dealers can. A mobile mechanic can still check other problems on the car where it is parked.
