Issue:
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to display or to freeze when the transmission is shifted into reverse.
Safety Risk:
A rearview camera image that doesn't display correctly could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and send a wireless over-the-air software update to eligible vehicles to update the SYNC software. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed at a Ford dealership.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the engine cup plug(s) may not have been installed properly. As a result, engine oil could leak and cause a loss of power to the wheels.
Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 3.5 L turbo engine. Vehicles affected by Transport Canada recall no. 2024-687 also require this repair.
Safety Risk:
A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Oil that leaks onto hot components can create the risk of a fire. Additionally, an oil leak could create a hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action:
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the cup plug(s).
Issue:
On certain F-150 Lightning (electric) trucks, there could be a problem inside the high-voltage battery. As a result, the battery modules could overheat and short circuit.
Safety Risk:
A short circuit in the high-voltage battery can create a fire risk.
Corrective Actions:
To reduce the safety risk, Ford recommends that you set the maximum charge setting of your vehicle at 80% until the recall repairs are completed. Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and replace the high-voltage battery modules, as necessary.
Issue:
On certain F-150 Lightning (electric) trucks, the nuts for the ball joints that connect the front upper control arms to the steering knuckles may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the upper control arms could separate from the knuckles. If this happens, there could be a loss of steering control.
Safety Risk:
A loss of steering control could create a risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect for loose and/or missing nuts. If any loose or missing nuts are found, the dealer will replace the steering knuckle(s) and nut(s).
