Ford is recalling over 4.3 million vehicles due to issues with trailer lights and brakes. This affects certain 2021-2026 F-150, 2022-2026 F-250 Super Duty, F-350 Super Duty, F-450 Super Duty, 2022-2026 Maverick, 2024-2026 Ranger, 2022-2027 Lincoln Navigator, 2022-2027 Expedition, and 2026 E-Transit vehicles.
According to the recall filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the integrated trailer module (ITM) may not communicate with the vehicle while towing, resulting in a loss of brake and turn signal lights or brake function.
The fix is an over-the-air software update. As with all recalls, the repair is free.
To find out if your vehicle is affected, you can call Ford’s toll-free line (866-436-7332) or contact a local Ford dealer.
Millions of cars are recalled, sometimes more than once. While automakers do their best to notify every vehicle owner affected by a recall, they don’t always reach everyone. To check whether your vehicle might be subject to a recall, use the easy tool at our recall center. All you need is your VIN, license plate, or year, make, and model of your car to get started.
