2020 FORD F-150 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Ford F-150 has 8 recalls, the most serious involving fire and crash risks from two separate electrical faults: a loose battery terminal connection that can cause engine stall or loss of braking and steering assist, and a starter motor wiring issue where electrical arcing can start a fire. Tire integrity is a recurring concern across several recalls. Continental tires on certain trucks can develop a sidewall break and shed tread suddenly, and the 17-inch spare tire may have been damaged during mounting, causing rapid air loss or the tire to detach from the wheel entirely. On the occupant safety side, front seat recliner mechanisms on some trucks may not have been assembled correctly, meaning the seat back can fold forward in a crash rather than holding the occupant in place. The rearview camera can intermittently go blank or show a distorted image due to a poor electrical connection, cutting off rearward visibility when reversing. There is also a lighting issue on trucks with high-series LED headlamps and Autolamp functionality, where the daytime running lights stay at full brightness instead of dimming when the driver manually switches to headlamps, which can reduce visibility for oncoming drivers at night.
