2018 FORD F-550 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Ford F-550 has 6 recalls, all rated at the same severity level, with the most widespread concern being brake lights that can illuminate even when the brake pedal is not pressed, potentially confusing drivers behind the vehicle. These brake light recalls affect several emergency vehicle upfitters, including fire trucks and brush and tanker vehicles built on the F-550 chassis, all equipped with the same Whelen brake light system. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue for all affected vehicles, which is why separate campaigns exist across multiple upfitters. There are also two recalls covering backup camera monitors made by ASA Electronics: the monitor can reset to factory default settings and display a mirror-reversed camera image, causing the driver to steer the wrong direction when backing up.
