NHTSA recall 26V374000
Visibility · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The power-operated windows may exert excessive force when encountering an object, before they automatically reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 118, "power-operated window systems."
Why it matters: A closing window that does not reverse direction as expected can pinch a driver or passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will update the power window operating system software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 22, 2026.
