Ford F-150 Lightning Bev Recalls

The Ford F-150 Lightning BEV has 15 recalls covering 2022 through 2026 model years, with the most serious being a park system failure on 2022-2026 vehicles where the integrated park module can fail to lock, allowing the truck to roll away after the driver exits.

The front suspension is the subject of two related recalls. On 2023-2025 models, the front upper control arm ball joint nut can be insufficiently tightened, allowing the control arm to separate from the steering knuckle and causing a sudden loss of steering. The 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 year ranges overlap because prior repairs did not fully resolve the issue, and a second recall extended the fix.

The high-voltage battery pack has been the focus of multiple fire-risk recalls. On 2022-2024 models, a defect in the battery cells can cause an internal short circuit and fire. On 2023 models specifically, loose fasteners inside the battery pack can cause electrical arcing at the bus bars, raising the risk of fire and sudden loss of drive power. A separate 2023 recall addresses a short circuit risk that occurs when the battery is fully or nearly fully charged.

The 2025 model year has a brake-related recall where bracket screws on the front brake hose can loosen and fall off, letting the hose contact the tire and leak brake fluid, which extends stopping distances.

On 2022-2023 vehicles, the SYNC software can fail to re-enable electronic stability control at startup, leaving the driver without that system without any warning. An earlier repair attempt for this issue was found to be incomplete, prompting a follow-up recall covering the same years.

The 2023 model also has a cabin heater module that can be missing a solder joint, causing intermittent or no cabin heat and leaving the windshield defroster and defogger inoperative in cold weather. The 2022-2023 rear lightbar lens can develop microcracks that let moisture in, causing the reverse lights to flicker or go dark entirely; a prior repair attempt for this defect was also found to be incomplete. On 2022 models equipped with 20-inch or 22-inch all-season tires, the tire pressure monitoring system light can fail to illuminate when pressure drops low, with a follow-up recall issued after an earlier fix proved inadequate.
