Ford has announced a major vehicle recall due to a potential fault in the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system. The campaign affects 47,804 vehicles equipped with 1.5, 2.0, and 2.3-liter EcoBoost engines.The issue stems from the EGR valve, according to the manufacturer. In some cases, an internal component can detach due to insufficient weld depth. This may lead to excessive exhaust gases entering the engine, potentially causing a loss of power. In certain scenarios, there's a risk of the engine stalling completely while driving.The investigation began back in July 2025 after several warranty claims from owners with vehicles under 10,000 kilometers. Ford engineers identified welding defects in valves supplied by the South Korean company Korens.The recall impacts several popular models, including the Ford Mustang, Bronco, Ranger, Explorer, Escape, Bronco Sport, Maverick, and Edge. It also extends to vehicles from the premium Lincoln brand—specifically the Nautilus and Corsair.Currently, Ford is developing a final fix for the problem. Dealers are expected to install new EGR valves on the affected vehicles. Owner notifications will be sent out between March 16 and 20, 2026.Such service campaigns highlight the increasing complexity of modern engines. Even reliable turbocharged EcoBoost units occasionally face technical issues, making timely recalls a crucial aspect of vehicle safety.
