Ford is recalling more than 40,000 vehicles due to a headlight defect that could reduce the driver’s visibility, according to federal regulators.
About 41,748 vehicles are potentially affected by the recall, including the 2025-2027 Ford Expedition, 2026 Ford F-250 SD, 2026 Ford F-350 SD, 2026 Ford F-450 SD and 2026 Ford F-550 SD models, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in its recall notice.
The NHTSA said the exterior lighting issue could reduce the driver’s visibility or make the vehicle harder for others to see on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.

The safety report advised drivers on how they could identify the issue.
