What this recall means for you
The Body Control Module, the vehicle's electronic unit that manages several lighting and body functions, may inadvertently deactivate one or both rear tail lights. When the tail lights do not illuminate, other drivers may have a harder time seeing your vehicle, which can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix is a software update to the Body Control Module. Authorized Ford dealers will perform the update free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 10, 2024. If you have questions, you can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and refer to recall number 24S24.
Whether or not you received a letter, check your vehicle identification number (VIN) on the NHTSA recall lookup or with a Ford dealer to confirm whether your vehicle has an open recall, and schedule the free repair as soon as possible.
