Ford and Lincoln are recalling over 90,000 trucks and SUVs from the 2021 and 2022 model years to replace engines that may suddenly fail.

The problem: A manufacturing defect could cause the engine valves to break while the vehicle is in motion, which could cause a sudden loss of power and lead to a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect each vehicle to determine its cumulative number of engine cycles. For vehicles that do not meet the engine cycle threshold, dealers will accumulate high revolutions per minute (rpm) engine cycles per a service procedure. Engines will be replaced on vehicles that do not pass the engine cycle accumulation.
How to contact the manufacturer: Owners may contact Ford at 866-436-7332.
NHTSA campaign number: 24V635. Ford’s own number for this recall is 24S55.
If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have any open recalls. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly to see whether your vehicle has had a recall issued.
