NHTSA recall 25V313000
Electronic Stability Control (Esc) · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The sync software may fail to activate the electronic stability control (esc) system at the beginning of each ignition cycle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 126, "electronic stability control systems."
Why it matters: Failure to reset the esc to active may result in the driver unknowingly operating the vehicle without electronic stability control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will update the accessory protocol interface module (apim) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 18, 2025.
