Ford Motor Company is recalling 159 model year 2021 F-150 vehicles equipped with the Onboard Scales feature. An over-the-air software update to the body control module (BCM) may have accidentally disabled both reverse lights. Dealers will perform a software update to the module to restore functionality at no cost to owners.
When reverse lights are disabled, other drivers and pedestrians cannot be alerted that the vehicle is backing up. This lack of visual warning increases the risk of a collision or pedestrian injury during reversing maneuvers.
