TSB 2025–2027 Expedition Concern — 26-2423

Technical Service Bulletin · TSB 26-2423

This is a Technical Service Bulletin, not a recall. A TSB tells dealers how to diagnose and repair a specific symptom when a vehicle comes in with it. It doesn't mean every vehicle listed has the problem, and it doesn't by itself make the repair free -- coverage depends on your warranty and the dealer's diagnosis.

Published: Sep 23, 2026
Applies to: Expedition (2025–2027 model years)

Summary (official text)​

This bulletin supersedes 26-2280. Reason for update: To add 2027 vehicle models, update the Parts list to change the tape, and revise Step 4 to change the tape and wrap an additional wiring harness. Some of the vehicles listed in the Model Statement above may exhibit a concern where the horn intermittently sounds when turning the steering wheel. This may be due to incorrect routing of a wire harness in the steering wheel, a loose strand of wire protruding from a wire harness and grounding the driver airbag, and/or a concern with one of the driver airbag mounting points.

Supersedes: TSB 26-2280
