Ford has issued a critical safety recall for approximately 2,345 of its 2025 F-Series Super Duty trucks (including F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 models) due to a faulty brake booster pushrod retaining spring. If this component fails, drivers could lose all braking ability, as the brake pedal may detach from the booster, rendering the hydraulic brake system inoperable.

Recognizing the severity of the issue, Ford and the NHTSA (Recall #25V401000) have issued a "Do Not Drive" warning, urging owners to park their vehicles immediately and avoid driving them until inspected and repaired by a dealership. The fix, which involves checking and potentially replacing the defective spring, will be performed at no cost to owners. Notification letters began going out on June 18, 2025.

This recall adds to Ford’s recent string of safety concerns, including a separate recall of 1 million vehicles for backup camera malfunctions and multiple recalls affecting the Maverick pickup.
