2025 Ford Explorer PCM Software Recall

2025 FORD EXPLORER: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE

Updated April 11, 2025

Ford is recalling certain 2025 Explorer vehicles because the powertrain control module (PCM) software can reset while you're driving, potentially causing the park system to fail or the engine to stall. A failed park system can let the vehicle roll away when parked, and a sudden engine stall can cause a crash.

Is the Ford Motor Company recalled? Yes. This product was recalled by NHTSA on April 11, 2025. Details below.

The hazard
