Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 2,422 of its 2025-2026 F-59 and F-53 commercial stripped chassis vehicles because the exterior brake lights may stay on even when the driver is not using the brakes. This defect means the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for lighting and reflective equipment. Dealers will inspect the brake pedal and repair the brake booster push rod as necessary, free of charge to the owner.
If the brake lights stay illuminated while the vehicle is moving, it fails to signal the driver's actual intentions to other motorists. This confusion can lead to rear-end collisions or other crashes because following drivers will not know when the vehicle is actually slowing or stopping.
