What this recall means for you

Some 2022 and 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning electric trucks may have fasteners securing the junction box bus bars inside the high-voltage battery pack that were not tightened securely. This can cause electrical arcing at the busbars, which increases the risk of a fire. A loss of drive power may also occur, which can increase the risk of a crash.

If you own an affected truck, contact Ford Customer Service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall 24S11. Dealers will inspect and repair the busbar fasteners and replace any damaged components as needed, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 21, 2025.
