Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 10,952 vehicles, including certain 2021-2022 Ford F-150 and 2022 Maverick, Expedition, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, and Lincoln Navigator models. These specific vehicles were previously repaired for a similar issue, but a software error remains that can cause electric or electric-over-hydraulic trailer brake systems to fail. Dealers will provide a free software update for the integrated trailer brake control module to restore full braking functionality. No incidents or injuries have been reported related to this defect.

Risk

If the trailer brakes fail to engage while towing, the vehicle will require a significantly longer distance to come to a complete stop. This lack of trailer braking power increases the risk of a rear-end collision or other crash.
