2025 Ford Explorer
A component is listed below if NHTSA records a vehicle recall campaign, a manufacturer warranty extension or service campaign, or at least 10 distinct consumer complaints.
Recall campaigns
NHTSA lists these campaigns as covering certain 2025 Ford Explorer vehicles. One campaign can list several components, so adding these counts is not a way to total the campaigns — 20 vehicle campaigns are on record for this model-year.

Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety recall at no cost to the owner — by repair, replacement or refund — for vehicles not more than 15 years old on the date the defect was determined.
Parts are sometimes on back-order and some remedies are interim, so a dealer may not be able to complete the work immediately. A specific vehicle’s current recall status is available through NHTSA’s VIN recall lookup.
OAV lists only communications filed as warranty extensions or service campaigns. Ford filed 181 other service communications for this model year; those are not listed.
These federal records are not an input to OAV’s price verdict.
These records describe the 2025 model-year, not any individual vehicle, and are not an inspection. One complaint can be recorded against more than one component, so counts do not sum to the model-year total. Service records for any component listed here are worth requesting from the seller. Showing 5 of 13 components with records above OAV’s publication floor — see all 13 for this model-year.
Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. Mileage is self-reported and frequently rounded. Complaint records as of 2026-09-21. Recall records as of 2026-09-21. Manufacturer communications as of 2026-09-21.

OAV verdict: Unscored
Why: Listed at $31,898. OAV publishes a price verdict only when it has enough closely comparable listings to stand behind one. This listing did not clear that bar, so OAV withholds a verdict rather than guessing. Listed 53 days · about typical for comparable local listings (typical ~15–90 days).
Manufacturer MSRPReference
$31,898This vehicle $31,898 · priced at MSRP
MSRP is the manufacturer's suggested retail price, shown for reference only. OAV rates new-car deals by how far below the supported comparable range a vehicle is priced (see OAV's market comparables / MRP and sold-price value / TRV) — not by discount from MSRP, because dealer-supplied MSRP is not independently verified. The advertised price is set by the dealer and may require financing, rebates, trade-in, or other qualifications, and excludes taxes, fees, and dealer add-ons — confirm the out-the-door price with the dealer.

Market context
This listing is part of OAV's broader Charlotte, NC suvs market analysis. OAV compares vehicles by local and regional price-to-market ranges and comparable count; days-on-lot and demand signals are shown separately, not as verdict inputs.
How this deal is rated
OAV compares this 2025 Ford Explorer against similar vehicles currently available for sale — same make, model, and year range, using trim where the data supports it. OAV does not adjust comparable prices for mileage; on used vehicles it withholds a verdict when mileage would distort the comparison — very high or unreliable mileage, or a lower price better explained by higher-than-typical mileage than by a genuine market discount — rather than overstate a deal. Based on where this listing falls in that comparable set, it is rated:
- Great Deal — priced below the comparable-range floor by a meaningful margin (OAV's minimum-gap rule); a listing below the floor by less than that margin is Fair Price.
- Fair Price — priced within the expected range for comparable vehicles.
- Overpriced — priced above the typical range for comparable vehicles.
Listings show OAV's PTM-derived deal quality and live market context. OAV-claimed dealers manage their listing profile and route buyer inquiries directly. Paid OAV partners can surface additional verification signals, but commercial participation never changes a listing's Price-to-Market verdict, eligibility, ranking, or confidence.
