2020 FORD EXPEDITION Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Ford Expedition has 10 recalls, the most serious involving a transmission shift cable that can leave the vehicle in a different gear than the selector shows, allowing unintended rollaway if the parking brake is not set. Several recalls affect occupant restraint. The front passenger seat belt buckle sensor can misread the occupant's size, and in a separate but related issue, can incorrectly classify a child as an adult, potentially allowing the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash rather than suppressing it. A seatbelt pretensioner in the front seats can also deploy on its own and lock the belt so it cannot retract or extend, reducing its ability to restrain an occupant in a crash. The second-row driver-side headrest bracket may not be adequately welded to the seat frame and could fail to restrain the occupant's head in a crash. Three recalls cover the pre-collision assist system, which includes forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. The system was not correctly programmed on certain vehicles, leaving those features non-functional. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue on some vehicles, requiring a second round of repairs. On the mechanical side, windshield wiper arms can break and leave the wipers inoperative, reducing visibility in rain or snow.
