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
-
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.
-
If it is, schedule an appointment with your Ford or Lincoln dealer for the inspection/repair.
-
Meanwhile, avoid driving with the moonroof open at high speed if you notice unusual wind noise or see the deflector seems loose.
-
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.
