Typical electrical symptoms owners report
- Trailer brake controller shows a wiring harness fault or reports the trailer as disconnected even when properly hooked up, so trailer brakes fail to engage.
- Taillight housings crack and let water in, causing an electrical short that knocks out the taillights.
- Steering wheel controls and horn cut out intermittently, accompanied by a clicking sound traced to the clock spring, with the problem recurring after dealer replacement.
- Vehicle loses all power suddenly while driving or after sitting for about 15 minutes, with lights, key, and controls going dead before restarting on its own.
- Reverse bed camera drops out randomly, showing white static or no response to button presses.
- Water intrusion into the BJB fuse panel triggers multiple alarms and causes the throttle to drop to idle while driving.

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.
