As of April 2025, Ford has issued multiple recalls for the 2025 Ford Explorer in Canada. Here’s a summary of the key recalls and their implications:
1. Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Software Reset
Issue: The PCM may reset while driving, potentially causing the vehicle to stall or lose acceleration. In some cases, the parking pawl could engage improperly, risking damage to the park system and increasing the chance of the vehicle rolling away if the electronic parking brake isn’t applied.
Affected Vehicles: Approximately 24,655 units built at the Chicago Assembly Plant between December 6, 2024, and September 6, 2024 .
Recall Reference: Ford recall number 25S35 .
Remedy: Ford will notify owners starting May 26, 2025. Dealers will update the PCM software free of charge.
2. Brake Master Cylinder Leak
Issue: In certain vehicles equipped with a 3.5L EcoBoost engine, brake fluid may leak from the master cylinder into the brake booster, leading to reduced braking performance.
Safety Risk: Reduced braking can increase stopping distances, elevating the risk of a crash.
Recall Reference: Transport Canada recall number 2025198 .
Remedy: Ford will notify owners by mail to bring their vehicles to dealerships for inspection and necessary replacements.

3. Transmission Valve Body Manufacturing Defect
Issue: Some vehicles may have improperly manufactured transmission valve bodies, which could result in the reverse gear not functioning or the vehicle moving forward when “R” or “N” is selected.
Safety Risk: Unexpected vehicle movement can increase the risk of injury or crash.
Recall Reference: Transport Canada recall number 2025132 .
Remedy: Owners will be advised to visit dealerships for replacement of the transmission main control valve body.
4. Battery Charge Detection Issue
Issue: The PCM and Body Control Module (BCM) may not detect changes in the 12V battery’s charge level, potentially causing the engine to stall or fail to restart after a start-stop event. Hazard lights may also become inoperative.
Safety Risk: Loss of power or non-functional hazard lights can increase the risk of a crash.
Recall Reference: Transport Canada recall number 2025139 .
Remedy: Ford will notify owners to update the PCM and BCM software at dealerships.
