26V104000 2026-02-20
Electrical system: integrated trailer brake control

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2026 F-150, 2022-2026 F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD, F-550 SD, Maverick, 2024-2026 Ranger, 2023-2026 F-600 SD, 2022-2027 Lincoln Navigator, Expedition, and 2026 E-Transit vehicles. When towing a trailer, the integrated trailer module (ITRM) may lose communication with the vehicle, possibly causing a loss of brake and turn signal lights, or a loss of brake function. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, " Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Trailer lights or brakes that do not function can reduce the driver’s ability to control the trailer and decrease the trailers visibility to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.

A software error may cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze, or not display when the vehicle is in reverse.

A frozen or missing rearview camera image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

In owners’ own words

Electrical system mileage not reported 11 mo in service
When connected to a trailer the instrument panel goes blank. I am unable to se any important information about the truck such as but not limited to coolant temp, oil temp, transmission temp, boost pressure, etc. having driven trucks that pull hard this information is critical. I have researched this issue on the internet and found that I am not the only person having this issue. Ford is aware that they have a problem and indicated that they have resolved it on the 2025 models, but not on the 2024 models. I feel that this is a safety issue and needs to be resolved. Thank you
Electrical system mileage not reported 1.3 yr in service
Battery failed on the drivers side. The 12 volt outlets quit working except after driving down the road for a while. They all the sudden started working. Went to Auto Zone the battery tested bad. When replacing the batteries the one on the driver side that failed had less weight then the one on the passanger side even tho they were the same battery make and model
