Ford is recalling some of its cars and trucks because the moonroof wind-deflector — the little flap above the open sunroof — might come loose. The clips that hold it on could be weak, so the deflector might detach while driving. That’s a safety concern.

Which vehicles are affected

The recall affects many U.S. models:

  • 2021-22 Ford Expedition SUVs

  • 2021-23 Ford F-150 pickup trucks

  • 2022 Ford Super Duty series (F-250, F-350, F-450)

  • 2021-22 Lincoln Navigator (Lincoln is Ford’s luxury brand)

If you own one of these, you should check to see if your vehicle is included.

Why it matters

  • If the wind deflector comes off while driving, it can hit the road or other vehicles.

  • It can also cause sudden wind or noise inside the car when the moonroof is open.

  • Even if you rarely use the moonroof, the fact that a part could detach at speed is serious.

What Ford is doing

  • Ford has opened a recall campaign (number 25SB7) for this issue.

  • Owners will get letters between early November 2025 telling them what to do.

  • Ford dealers will inspect and replace/fix the clips or deflector, free of charge.

What you should do if you own one

  1. Check your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on the Ford website or the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) site to see if your car is affected.

  2. If it is, schedule an appointment with your Ford or Lincoln dealer for the inspection/repair.

  3. Meanwhile, avoid driving with the moonroof open at high speed if you notice unusual wind noise or see the deflector seems loose.

  4. If you’re buying a used vehicle of those models, ask the seller: “Has this recall been done?” Get proof of the service if possible.

Why this is important for you

  • This shows how even small parts (like clips or wind deflectors) can cause big safety issues.

  • If you’re a Ford owner, better to get this fixed quickly than risk a part coming off.

  • For potential buyers, affected vehicles might drop in value a little if lots of buyers worry about this recall.

  • For Ford, lots of recalls like this affect their reputation and may mean slower resale values, more cost, and extra attention from regulators.

In short

If you drive a 2021-23 Ford F-150, 2021-22 Ford Expedition, 2022 Ford Super Duty, or 2021-22 Lincoln Navigator — you should check if your vehicle is part of the wind deflector recall. It’s simple: check your VIN, book the free repair, and you’ll be safe.
