Electrical System

Sep 27, 2024 · NHTSA campaign 24V725000 · 761 vehicles

Problem: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024 F-53 Recreational Stripped Chassis and 2024 F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis vehicles.

Risk: A transmission gear position indicator that fails to illuminate can make it difficult to identify the correct transmission shift position, increasing the risk of a crash.
