Specs and fitment
Known issues for this generation
Certain 2012 Expeditions built at the Kentucky Truck Plant between August and December 2011 were recalled along with related F-150, Mustang, and Navigator models after an output speed sensor issue in the 6R80 transmission's lead frame could force a temporary downshift into first gear at speed, causing the rear tires to slide or lock up and increasing the risk of loss of vehicle control (NHTSA campaign 16V248). Ford's remedy updated the powertrain control module software and offered a one-time lead-frame replacement within 10 years or 150,000 miles.
