2021 Ford F-150 Recalled for Reverse Light Failure

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 10 of its 2021 F-150 trucks equipped with the Onboard Scales feature. These specific vehicles were previously repaired incorrectly under a different recall, and a subsequent software update may have accidentally disabled both reverse lights. Ford dealers will provide a free update to the body control module software to restore the lights to proper working order.

Risk

If the reverse lights do not work, they will fail to alert other drivers or pedestrians that the truck is backing up. This lack of communication increases the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. This recall affects 2021 Ford F-150 vehicles equipped with the Onboard Scales feature that were previously serviced under recall 24V443.
  2. Check if your vehicle's reverse lights function when the gear is in reverse. Note that even if they are working now, a software update is required to ensure long-term functionality.
  3. Contact a local Ford dealer to schedule a free update for the body control module (BCM) software.
  4. You may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference internal recall number 25S57.
  5. Call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information regarding recall 25V348.
