NHTSA recall 22V730000
Exterior Lighting, Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Under certain circumstances, the antilock brake system (ABS) module may cause the brake lights to illuminate without the driver applying the brakes. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: Unintended illumination of the brake lights may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will update the software in the ABS module, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 9, 2022.
