Antigua Consumers Alerted as Ford Motor Company Recalls Over 83,000 Vehicles for Safety Defects

Ford Recalls 83,000 Vehicles Due to Defects

The Prices and Consumer Affairs Division is advising the public that Ford Motor Company is recalling more than 83,000 vehicles due to a headlight software defect and a faulty exhaust-gas recirculation valve that could impair visibility or cause sudden loss of power. 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has identified two distinct safety hazards that pose a direct risk to motorists and pedestrians alike:

Headlight Software Defect: 35,772 vehicles may experience a malfunctioning Dynamic Bending Light software system that can turn headlights incorrectly and create glare.

Exhaust-Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Failure: 47,804 vehicles are recalled for a defective exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) valve that could cause sudden loss of drive power.

The recall affects vehicles of the following models:

• 2025-2026: Ford Explorer

• 2025: Ford Bronco, Bronco Sport, Escape, Maverick, Mustang, and Ranger

• 2025: Lincoln Corsair and Nautilus

Owners of recalled 2025-2026 Ford Explorers can receive a free software update either through an authorized dealership or via an “over-the-air” update.

The Division reminds the public that consumers are not required to pay for repairs related to a manufacturer’s safety recall.
