Ford has issued a recall concerning the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on certain Ford Expedition models. This safety notice is important for vehicle owners to understand, as the TPMS plays a crucial role in maintaining proper tire pressure and ensuring overall driving safety.
What is the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Recall About?
The recall addresses a potential issue where the TPMS may fail to alert drivers when tire pressure drops below the recommended level. Without proper warning, drivers might unknowingly operate their vehicle with underinflated tires, which can lead to poor vehicle handling, increased tire wear, and a higher risk of tire blowouts.

The recall typically covers Ford Expeditions manufactured during a specific period. Owners can check their vehicle identification number (VIN) on Ford’s official recall website or through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to confirm if their vehicle is included.
What Should Affected Owners Do?
- Check if your Ford Expedition is part of the recall by using the VIN lookup tool.
- Contact your local Ford dealership to schedule a free inspection and repair.
- Have the TPMS sensors and related components inspected and, if necessary, replaced or reprogrammed.
