What's recalled

Component: Exterior lighting (lighting control module)

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Bronco Sport and 2022 F-150 vehicles. The parking lights may flicker when the headlights are activated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

Flickering parking lights can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy and its status

Dealers will replace the LED Driver module, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 29, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22C22.

Status: NHTSA lists Mar 29, 2023 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.
