ToplineFord is recalling a total of 41,748 pickup trucks and SUVs over a potential problem with the vehicles' headlights that could cause them to go dark, according to filings from the National Highway Traffic Administration—marking another major recall for the automaker that has already recalled millions of vehicles this year.The automaker is recalling over 41,000 Ford Super Duty trucks and Expedition SUVs.Key FactsTens of thousands of Ford vehicles were equipped with headlights that might contain "contaminated LED chips," according to a notice from the NHTSA dated Tuesday, which could cause their daytime running lights, parking lights, highbeam headlights and lowbeam headlights to fail without warning.This problem could cause the vehicles to fail to comply with the federal motor vehicle safety regulations governing headlights.In a recall report, Ford said it was unaware of any accidents or injuries related to the problem, but did note there were six warranty claims and field reports related to the problem.Owners of impacted vehicles can get free inspections at Ford or Lincoln dealerships, which will then replace any faulty headlights, according to the recall notice.Which Vehicles Are Impacted?The recall covered several Super Duty pickup truck models, including 120 F-550s, 523 F-450s, 10,295 F-350s and 17,512 F-250s, all with the model year 2026. It also covered a total of 13,298 Ford Expedition SUVs, with model years between 2025 and 2027. Owners can look up their vehicle's VIN on the NHTSA's database to see if their vehicle was impacted.Key BackgroundFord has faced a significant number of recalls in the past few years, after leading all automakers last year with 153 recalls in total.
