Ford Motor Company "Ford" is recalling certain 2024-2025 F-150, 2024 Expedition and 2024 Lincoln Navigator vehicles equipped with a 3.5L GTDI engine. The engines may have a misaligned engine cup plug, which can result in a rapid oil leak.
A rapid oil leak can result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, an oil leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components, can increase the risk of a fire.
Dealers will inspect the engine cup plug alignment, and replace the plug if necessary, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed December 6, 2024. A second notice will be sent once the final remedy is available. The parts are anticipated to be available the first quarter of 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S70.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153' or go to nhtsa.gov.
