Ford’s record year continues with nearly 102,000 sedans recalled for faulty door trim that could fall off during normal operation. In this case, it’s the Taurus sedan spanning four model years from 2016 to 2019. The NHTSA says the detaching trim pieces could increase the risk of a crash. 

Ford recalls 101,944 Taurus sedans for faulty door trim, ‘increasing the risk of a crash’

Ford can’t seem to catch a break in 2025. Earlier this year, the Blue Oval smashed General Motors’ record for the most individual automaker recalls in one year. But the year is far from over, and Ford just recalled yet another vehicle population.

This time, 101,944 Ford Taurus sedans are under the microscope. The sedans may have faulty door trim with a risk of detachment under typical vehicle operation. While the detaching trim may not raise the likelihood of a crash for the affected vehicles’ occupants, detaching trim may present a road hazard for other motorists. 

According to the NHTSA recall notice, the “Applique detachment may result from incomplete adhesion of the part to door sheet metal during installation at the vehicle assembly plant on vehicles built after a process change that stopped the use of hand rollers that aided operators in ensuring complete adhesion of the part.”

Ford says it will notify owners by mail and pass along instructions to take their Taurus sedans to a service center. From there, a technician will inspect the B-pillar trim and repair or replace it as necessary. The NHTSA says the repair will be free of charge.
