Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 213,121 model year 2025 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator vehicles. On these vehicles, a defect in the body control module can cause the trailer tail lights to fail to turn on when a trailer is being towed. Dealers will check or replace the affected control module free of charge to ensure the lights work properly.
If a trailer's tail lights do not illuminate, the vehicle and trailer are much harder for other drivers to see, especially at night or in low-visibility conditions. This significantly increases the risk of a rear-end collision.
Functional check and potential replacement of the body control module C.
