2025 FORD EXPLORERTransport Canada Recall #2025433
The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles, the body control module (BCM) may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the trailer taillights may not work when towing a trailer. Note: This problem could cause a trailer error message to display in the instrument cluster and various electrical systems not to work properly.
Safety Risk
Trailer taillights that don't work could make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the BCM.
