Typical electrical symptoms owners report
- Infotainment screen goes blank or freezes while driving, sometimes with the vehicle shutting off or the adaptive driving feature jerking the vehicle out of its lane.
- Speakers suddenly emit an extremely loud screeching or static noise at max volume that cannot be silenced by turning off the radio or switching audio sources.
- Instrument panel goes completely black while driving, sometimes paired with turn signal or horn failure.
- Rear cabin lights fail to turn on with the doors, or turn on and cannot be switched off, creating a nighttime visibility hazard.
- Blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert systems fail repeatedly due to corroded connector pins that leave unused pins exposed.
- Rodent damage to electrical wiring caused failures that persisted even after dealer repair.

Exterior lighting:tail lights
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."
Risk: Trailer lights or brakes that do not function can reduce the driverâs ability to control the trailer and decrease the trailers visibility to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: The integrated trailer module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 25, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C10. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning March 17, 2026.
