Ford Integrated Brake Controller Recall

Apparently, some Ford owners have experienced issues with models equipped with integrated brake controllers. Ford has found instances where the brake controller failed to apply the trailer brakes. Ford also has an unrelated recall of an oil container rupture on certain models. The recall indicates leaking oil could present a fire hazard.

These days, all vehicles end up having issues.... Just a question of what.


Anyway, Ford apparently has determined the brake control issue is computer program related:


Issue Date

2022-03-25

Description

REPROGRAM INTEGRATED TRAILER RELAY MODULE

Safety Risk

LOSS OF TRAILER BRAKE FUNCTIONALITY COULD RESULT IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy

OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL AND INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A FORD OR LINCOLN DEALER TO HAVE THE INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE UPDATED. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE. FORD IS EXCLUDING REIMBURSEMENT FOR COSTS BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY PROGRAM WOULD PROVIDE FOR A FREE REPAIR FOR THIS CONCERN. FORD WILL FORWARD A COPY OF THE NOTIFICATION LETTERS TO DEALERS TO THE AGENCY WHEN AVAILABLE.
