On the 2024-2026 Lincoln Nautilus 2.0L EcoBoost Hybrid, select 2024-2026 Nautilus Hybrid vehicles built April 4, 2023 - Sept 23, 2025 may fail to emit the federally required pedestrian warning (acoustic vehicle alerting) sound when driven in electric mode below about 30 km/h (19 mph), due to an error in the audio-processing software. A silent EV-mode vehicle increases the risk of striking pedestrians, cyclists, and the visually impaired (FMVSS 141 non-compliance). NHTSA-reportable, Ford recall number 25SA2; owner letters mailed Nov 5, 2025.

Common Symptoms

  • No exterior warning sound at low speed in electric mode
  • Vehicle is silent when creeping in parking lots / crosswalks
  • Pedestrians do not hear the car approaching

How to Fix

Under recall 25SA2, dealers (or an over-the-air update) reflash the audio control module and digital signal processing module software free of charge. Owners should confirm the OTA installed or schedule the dealer update; verify the alert tone is audible at low EV-mode speeds afterward.
