2025 explorer st has no lights when I open door
Any ideas?
Could it be due to recall that I need to have done?

Do you have the overhead switch enabled? No recall is related to this that I know of.

When is the last time you drove it? I'm retired and my '25 ST can sit for days or weeks without being started and I find after a few days when I open the door the interior lights and dash screen displays that normally would illuminate will not. I'm guessing this is part of some sort of battery saving strategy and once I start it then the lights/dash turn on when the door is opened like normal again.
