Ford Taurus Recall Affects 100,000 Vehicles
Ford has issued a Ford Taurus recall impacting over 100,000 vehicles due to a door trim defect. The recall covers Taurus models manufactured between 2016 and 2019, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Faulty Door Trim Creates Safety Concerns
The recall stems from the possibility that front door trims may detach while the vehicle is in motion. Although Ford estimates that only about 1% of affected vehicles may experience this issue, the company emphasizes the importance of addressing the defect proactively. To date, there have been no reported accidents or injuries linked to this problem.
Dealer Inspections and Free Repairs
Ford is directing all authorized dealers to inspect the affected Taurus models. Vehicle owners can have the door trims replaced at no cost. The repair process is designed to restore the integrity of the door assembly, ensuring that the trims remain securely in place during normal driving conditions.
Additional Auto Recall Context
This recall follows a series of Ford and other automaker recalls in 2025, reflecting increased vigilance around vehicle safety. Recent recalls include Ford trucks over display failures and rearview camera issues, as well as Honda’s recall of more than 259,000 vehicles in the U.S. for various defects.
What Vehicle Owners Should Do
Owners of 2016–2019 Ford Taurus models are encouraged to contact their nearest dealership or check the NHTSA website to confirm if their vehicle is part of the recall. Prompt action ensures that minor defects do not develop into safety hazards.
The Ford Taurus recall demonstrates the manufacturer’s commitment to consumer safety and highlights the ongoing importance of monitoring vehicle recalls for all drivers.
