Ford Motor Company: F-150 Lightning Recalled for Inoperative Windshield Defrosting System

Agency Publication Date: October 13, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 931 of its 2023 F-150 Lightning pickup trucks because the electronic cabin coolant heater module may have been manufactured with a missing solder joint. This defect can cause the heater to work intermittently or fail entirely, preventing the windshield defrosting and defogging system from operating. Affected owners can have the electronic cabin coolant heater replaced by a Ford dealer at no cost.

Risk

If the windshield defrosting and defogging system fails, the driver's visibility through the windshield may be significantly reduced, especially in cold or humid weather. This loss of visibility increases the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Confirm if your vehicle is affected by checking for the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning model in your registration or insurance documents.
  2. Contact a local Ford dealer to schedule an appointment for a free replacement of the electronic cabin coolant heater module.
  3. If you have questions, contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference Ford's internal recall number 23C32.
  4. You may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
