en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ford is recalling 548,463 Expedition vehicles from the 2018 to 2024 model years due to chrome trim on the center console that may bubble, peel, and separate from the underlying layer, creating sharp edges that could cut occupants.

While most vehicle recalls today are related to technology and software issues, Ford's latest recall focuses on chrome interior trim.

Ford identified a pattern after analyzing customer complaints submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Of the first six complaints reviewed by the automaker, five claimed hand injuries from contact with sharp edges. The company initially believed a recall was unnecessary because bubbling and peeling were visible before the trim separated. However, engineers discovered that components appearing normal could still bubble and peel after environmental testing, prompting the company to change its decision.

As of June 2026, Ford has accumulated 4,634 warranty claims, 150 field reports, 34 customer call center reports, and 6 NHTSA complaints potentially related to this defect. Globally, there have been 65 injuries and 1 crash associated with this issue, with some injured individuals requiring professional medical care.

Affected owners will be instructed to take their vehicles to a Ford or Lincoln dealer, where technicians will inspect the center console. If bubbling or peeling is present, it will be replaced free of charge.
