Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 140,201 Ranger vehicles from the 2024, 2025, and 2026 model years. The sun visor or headliner wiring harnesses may be improperly positioned or have tape that is too thick, which can lead to damaged wires and an electrical short. Ford dealers will inspect the wiring, update the vehicle software, and replace any damaged harnesses free of charge.
