— Recalling more than 2,700 Ford F-150, Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles equipped with 3.5L GTDI engines in the United States and Canada.
Ford is recalling 2024-2025 Ford F-150, 2024 Ford Expedition and 2024 Lincoln Navigator vehicles because the engines may begin to leak large amounts of oil.
Ford says the engine cup plug at the rear of the engine may be misaligned, causing engine oil to leak quickly.
“On October 8, 2024, the Kansas City Assembly Plant reported that a 2024 F-150 vehicle equipped with a 3.5L GTDI engine suddenly experienced a significant loss of oil during vehicle evaluation at the assembly plant.” — Ford
Inspection revealed that the 13 mm cup plug on the rear exhaust side of the engine had become detached from the right cylinder head. The engine was disassembled and it was verified that the cup plug hole was not damaged and the cylinder head hole was the correct size.
But the cup plug showed that the plug was off-center when it was pressed into the cylinder head bore.
About 340 of the vehicles were recalled in Canada.
Your Ford dealer will replace the engine cup plug if needed.
Owners can contact Ford at 866-436-7332 and reference recall number 24S70.
