Ford Motor Company is recalling certain vehicles in the US market due to the possibility that these vehicles may fail to emit necessary warning sounds.

When a vehicle approaches a pedestrian, the absence of effective auditory warnings may prevent timely alerts to pedestrians, thereby increasing the risk of collisions and pedestrian injuries. This recall campaign was announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Vehicles operating at low speeds typically rely on warning sounds to alert nearby pedestrians, especially when electric or hybrid vehicles run in silent mode. The recalled vehicles are affected because their relevant systems may fail to operate as designed, resulting in missing warning sounds and non-compliance with safety standards. Ford stated that it will notify affected owners and arrange free repair services to address this potential safety concern. Owners can contact their local authorized dealer for more information and to schedule inspections.
