What this recall means for you
Certain vehicles were previously repaired under an earlier recall and may have been repaired incorrectly. As a result, the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning controls, including the defrost and defog functions, may stop working.
If you cannot control defrost or defog, your view through the windshield can be reduced in certain driving conditions, which increases the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. Dealers will update the remote climate control module software at no charge. Owners were mailed notification letters on April 21, 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your VIN for open recalls, or contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall 25S23.
