Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 5,118 of its 2022-2023 F-150 Lightning vehicles because the SYNC software may fail to activate the electronic stability control (ESC) system when the vehicle is started. Without this safety system active, these vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for stability control. Ford will provide a software update for the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) through a dealer visit or an over-the-air (OTA) update at no cost to owners.
The stability control system may remain deactivated without the driver's knowledge, which can lead to a loss of vehicle control and significantly increase the risk of a crash.
