Ford Recalls Over 170,000 Vehicles for Moonroof Safety Defect
Ford is once again making headlines in the automotive world, this time for a safety recall involving nearly 175,000 vehicles across its Ford and Lincoln brands. The issue centers around a potential defect with the moonroof wind deflector, which could detach while driving — posing a risk to both drivers and others on the road. The recall was officially filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on October 24, drawing attention to yet another quality concern for the automaker.
According to the recall notice, the problem lies in how the moonroof wind deflector clips were attached to the frame. These clips may have been inadequately secured during manufacturing, making it possible for the wind deflector to break loose from the vehicle while in motion. Such a failure could increase the risk of a crash or create hazardous debris on the road, especially at high speeds.

The recall affects a total of 174,853 vehicles , including several popular models. Among the vehicles listed are the 2021–2023 Ford F-150 , 2022 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty trucks , as well as the 2021–2022 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs. Owners of these vehicles may notice a louder wind noise or rattling when the moonroof is open — or, in more serious cases, might actually see the wind deflector coming loose.
To address the issue, Ford is offering free inspections and repairs for all affected customers. Owners will begin receiving official recall letters from Ford starting November 3 , as noted by the NHTSA. In the meantime, customers are encouraged to contact Ford directly at 1-866-436-7332 or visit the NHTSA recall website to check if their vehicle is included.
This recall adds to a growing list of safety actions taken by Ford in 2025 — a year in which the automaker has already broken records for the number of recalls issued. Earlier this month, Ford also recalled over 1.4 million vehicles for a separate issue involving distorted or blank rearview camera displays, which posed additional safety risks while reversing.
While safety recalls are a routine part of vehicle maintenance in the auto industry, the sheer number affecting Ford this year has raised questions about its quality control processes. Experts say that modern vehicles have become increasingly complex, and as technology evolves, new challenges naturally arise. Still, the company faces the task of reassuring customers that these problems are being handled swiftly and responsibly.
For now, Ford owners are urged to take this recall seriously and have their vehicles inspected as soon as possible. After all, a quick check could prevent a dangerous situation — and keep both drivers and passengers safer on the road.
