Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling 231 of its 2025 F-53 and F-59 vehicles due to an incorrectly installed stop light switch. This defect can cause the exterior brake lights to stay on when they shouldn't or fail to turn on when you press the brake pedal. Dealers will replace the stop light switch in affected vehicles free of charge.

Risk

If the brake lights do not work correctly, other drivers will not know when the vehicle is slowing down, which increases the risk of a rear-end crash. Additionally, the vehicle may be shifted out of the 'park' position even if the brake pedal is not pressed, which could lead to a rollaway and a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. The recall affects certain 2025 Ford F-53 and F-59 vehicles where the brake light switch may have been installed improperly.
  2. Enter your 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the search tool at NHTSA.gov/recalls to see if your specific chassis is affected.
  3. Contact an authorized Ford dealer to schedule a free replacement of the stop light switch.
  4. You may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference Ford's recall number 26C01 for more information.
  5. Call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for additional details.
