On 19 September 2025, Ford Motor Company entered into crisis mode as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) called for a massive recall for over 100,000 Taurus sedans over faulty door trim that could fly off at speed, endangering drivers and sparking crash fears.
This defect, tied to poor adhesion in exterior B-pillar appliques, follows a string of 2025 trim scandals for Ford models, amplifying consumer outrage amid 69 recalls affecting 3.5 million vehicles since January.
