Ford is recalling certain 2025 F-150 hybrid trucks equipped with a 3.5L hybrid electric powertrain due to a seat belt warning system issue.
The audible chime may not activate when the driver or passenger seat belt is unbuckled at startup, which does not meet federal safety standards for occupant crash protection (FMVSS 208).
Dealers will update the audio control module software at no cost. Owner notification letters will begin mailing on August 25, 2025, with follow-up letters once the fix is available. The recall number is 25C31.
