On the 2025 Ford Ranger, 2025 Ford Ranger pickups are among the vehicles included in Ford safety recall 26S10. The defect is a failure of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve, and the result described by NHTSA is an unexpected loss of drive power. For a truck that may be towing, hauling, or working off-pavement, losing motive power without warning is a crash risk, which is why NHTSA classifies this as a safety defect rather than an emissions-only concern. The recall population is 47,804 vehicles across the whole campaign, which also sweeps in several other 2025 Ford and Lincoln models — that number is not specific to the Ranger.

This issue also affects: Ford Bronco, Ford Bronco Sport, Ford E-Series

Common Symptoms

  • Sudden, unexpected loss of drive power

How to Fix

Dealers replace the EGR valve free of charge. Take the truck to any Ford dealer and reference recall 26S10 (NHTSA 26V122000); there is no cost to the owner. Owner letters went out July 31, 2026, but affected VINs have been searchable since March 4, 2026 — check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Ford customer service: 1-866-436-7332.
