2022 FORD F-150 LIGHTNING BEV Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning has 9 recalls, the most serious being two separate high-voltage battery fire risks: a potential internal short circuit in the battery cells, and loose fasteners inside the battery pack that can cause electrical arcing. The park system also has a recall: the integrated park module may fail to lock the drivetrain when the driver shifts into park, allowing the truck to roll away. On the electronics side, the SYNC software can fail to activate electronic stability control at startup, leaving the driver without traction intervention without any warning. Prior repair attempts for this issue did not fully resolve the problem for some vehicles. The tire pressure monitoring system on trucks equipped with 20- or 22-inch all-season tires may not illuminate the warning light when tire pressure drops, masking a condition that can affect handling and vehicle control, and an earlier repair attempt for this same issue was also found to be incomplete on some trucks. The rear lightbar lens can develop microcracks that allow moisture inside, causing the reverse lights to flicker or go dark entirely and leaving drivers behind the truck without warning that it is backing up; prior repair attempts for this lighting defect similarly did not hold for all affected vehicles.
