Recall 26V-415: Forward Collision Avoidance, Back Over Prevention

Reported Jun 30, 2026 · 66,383 vehicles affected · Ford Motor Company

Problem: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024-2027 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid and 2025-2027 Explorer Hybrid vehicles. A software error may prevent the vehicle from making the pedestrian warning sound at certain speeds.

Ford will release an over-the-air (OTA) update or dealers will update the APIM software, free of charge.

Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Oct 12, 2026
I was pulling up to a stoplight at Belmont & Abrams in East Dallas when my Pre-Collision Brake went off. I was not about to collide with another car, we were both slowing down. The force of the braking system caused me to re-tear 2 rotator cuff muscles I had had repaired 6 weeks earlier. I had de-activated the pre-collision brake multiple times because it's a hazard, but every time the car received an update it re-activated. I can't believe there isn't a class action lawsuit against Ford/Lincoln for this dangerous product.
Electrical System · reported Aug 20, 2025
Message the car sends "Remote features disabled to preserve battery" Your Nautilus has enter Deep Sleep to remedy the problem you much drive it. I drive my lincoln nautilus everyday and I get this message at least once a month. The car has completely died twice, no power, you can't even open the car doors nor trunk with key. You have to take the key apart and put it in a small hole on the door to open the car up. In March 2025 I was in NC for a funeral with my disabled Mom, we check out of the hotel, go to get in the car, completely dead, had to call a tow truck for a jump. August 2025, same…
Unknown or Other · reported Aug 1, 2025
While driving 60 + mph on the highway, the car turned off.it felt like someone turned the ignition off. Gas pedal was dead and i had to coast to a stop. The car popped up “Stop Safely Now”. We got it towed to dealership and they kept it for 2 weeeks. In spite of informing them about issue, they never acknowledged or fixed it and returned car to my home saying everything looks good. But it’s obviously not. I am clearly not driving it anymore as it might stopped working again and that time I might not be as lucky as last time. Driving this car without resolving this issue is death trap and…
Unknown or Other · reported Jul 27, 2025
We haven’t had the car for a full year yet and already have now had our 3rd front windshield cracked! It’s either the glass is too fragile or the shape of it. I’ve never had this happen with any car ever! I’ve also read online several other car owners complaining of the same issue.
Unknown or Other · reported Jun 23, 2025
The back-up camera is often very laggy, with slightly delayed video. Sometimes it also does not work and there is no video displayed on the main dashboard while reversing.
