This week, nearly 550,000 Expeditions (2018–2024) are being recalled for dangerous chrome peeling on the center console, risking cuts. Just a week prior, another recall hit 419,000 Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators for faulty seat belts that won’t retract or extend properly. Ford’s recall history is long and costly—spending nearly $5 billion in repairs last year—and often reacts to external reports rather than catching issues internally. To turn things around, they’ve launched a new quality program pushing vehicles to extreme mileage to spot flaws early. It’ll take 18 months to see real results, but the goal is clear: smoother launches, fewer defects, better reliability, and faster fixes—all to slash recalls and warranty costs for good.
