Has the 2014 Ford Edge been recalled?
3 U.S. safety recalls. Repairs are free at a franchised dealer; some are done over the air.
Power Train: Axle Assembly: Axle Shaft Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Explorer, 2014-2015 Taurus and 2014 Edge vehicles equipped with 2.0L or 2.3L engines and front wheel drive. The support bracket for the front drive axle halfshaft may fail.
Risk: The failed bracket could result in a loss of park function which can cause unintended vehicle movement, and loss of motive power while driving which increases the risk of a crash.
Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the link shaft bracket, free of charge. Parts are not currently available. Owners received an interim notification detailing safety risk December 8, 2020. A second letter will be mailed when parts become available in January 2021. The recall began February 2, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S63.
Fuel System, Gasoline: Delivery: Fuel Pump Ford Motor Company (Ford) notified the agency on January 8, 2015, that they are recalling certain model year 2014 Ford Escape vehicles manufactured April 15, 2014, to May 8, 2014, and 2015 Lincoln MKC vehicles manufactured April 21, 2014, to May 15, 2014. On April 30, 2015, Ford expanded the recall to cover an additional 45,505 vehicles, including certain model year 2014-2015 Ford Transit Connect vehicles manufactured November 11, 2013, to August 29, 2014, 2014-2015 Ford Fiesta vehicles manufactured April 10, 2014, to June 17, 2014 and 2014 Ford Edge vehicles manufactured April 30, 2014, to May 21, 2014. Improper nickel plating of components within the fuel pump may result in the fuel pump failing.
Risk: If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump, free of charge. The recall began on February 27, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 14S30.
Power Train: Axle Assembly: Axle Shaft Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles manufactured September 2, 2010, to November 30, 2013; 2013-2014 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS vehicles manufactured August 25, 2011, to November 30, 2013; and 2013-2014 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles manufactured September 12, 2011, to November 30, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the halfshaft retention circlip may not have been properly installed, and as a result, the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving and without prior warning.
Risk: If the halfshaft and linkshaft become disengaged while driving, power will no longer be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in 'Park', increasing the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure that the halfshaft is properly retained. If it is not, dealers will replace the linkshaft and also replace the halfshaft if it shows evidence of spline damage, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S10.

In the event of an airbag being deployed, it may underinflate or the excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the occupants.

I took my 2014 Ford Edge in for an annual inspection and discovered severe rust over the entire frame and a large hole rusted through the subframe. The rust had spread to the suspension and exhaust pipe. The car failed inspection and after seeking multiple consultations from auto body repair shops it was deemed the car needs a whole new frame, subframe, suspention within 1 year and a new exhaust pipe. I researched the issue and learned this is a widespread and reported issue with subframes and suspension mounting points on 2007–2014 Ford Edges that can suffer from severe, premature rust and…
Rear camera not working, blank screen, upside down picture, distorted picture. Same issue which was recalled by ford on earlier models, ie 2013
On three separate occasions, the brake pedal has gone all the way to the floor, with braking power reduced to a scary, dangerous level. An independent mechanic ran a diagnostic scan on one of those occasions and received an ABS Module fault. They bled the system, and the brakes worked well (fault went away) -- until the next incident, in which the car decided to randomly 'fix' itself about 20 minutes later. Independent shop and the dealership performed in-depth inspections of the entire braking system and could not find the issue. This hydraulic failure is a documented safety problem on other…
Brake pedal felt mushy, took vehicle to repair shop and had master cylinder replaced. Problem persisted so took vehicle to a different repair shop and had brake booster replaced. Pedal felt firmer but then a hissing sound could be heard while driving without using brakes. Had brake booster replaced again as well as the vacuum hose connected to booster. Now Pedal goes all the way the floor requiring excessive pressure to stop vehicle and a high pitched hissing sound is heard when applying pressure to brake pedal. Hissing sound still present while car in motion without touching brakes. Vehicle…
The backup camera on my 2014 Ford Edge is upside down. At night, the picture is completely unrecognizable. This year should have been included in the recent recall.
1) my rear view camera is disoriented when car is in reverse. Sometimes the picture on the screen is upside down or doesnt show anything at all. 2) drivers seat belt does not clip in correctly. I have to push the red button in for the seat belt to clip into place.

The contact scanned the vehicle with an OBD-2 scanner and retrieved error codes for the Power Control Module, Steering Column Control Module, and Power Train Control Module. The…
I have had issues with this car since a few months from me getting it. My rear camera wouldn't work half the time and sometimes turns the images upside down. My heat and cooling system started malfunctioning and the driver's side doesn't blow or temp the same as the passenger side. It has been like that at least 2 of the 4 years I have had this car and have taken it in multiple times and spent thousands of dollars to get it fixed and it is still not fixed and no one can seem to tell me the problem. My car also restarts itself and it won't turn off. A couple of months into getting the car, my…
7/2/25-i was driving about 20 miles per hour when suddenly my car went into a type of limp/idle mode. It shut the car down to an idle, a wrench light came on my dash then the car started to shake. I coasted into a driveway and turned the car off. I turned it back on after 5min and it was fine. 7/16/25-I was driving about 30mph and all of a sudden my car goes into this idle mode again. I got the car to coast over into a turning lane. It lost power down to an idle, wrench came up on dash again then the car started to shake. I turned the car off and back on and it was fine. I’m very scared to…
Three different occurrences of the engine shutting off. Twice while in park and once while stopped in a drive-thru.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel and vehicle were shaking abnormally. There was an abnormal clunking sound detected. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who determined that the transmission case and drive shaft were cracked and leaking and needed to be replaced. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact called another local dealer, Magic City Ford Lincoln (809 Williamson Rd. NE, Roanoke, VA 24016 – (540)345-0911)…
I had my oil changed last year upon seeing some suspicious activity during this oil change at Walmart, they were dishonest and lied to my face about my skid plate missing bolts underneath. I told them there's is no way my mobile mechanic put all four back on last night after it fell off while driving. So they lied to me. I filled a complaint. My car started driving weird. Then about two weeks later my car while in park, out of no where wouldn't reverse the steering wheel way locked it hard to turn. And sounded like a broken garbage disposal. It wasn't drivable.i have a2014 Ford edge sel. I…
