2019 FORD RANGER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 Ford Ranger has 15 recalls, the most serious being fire risks from an HVAC blower motor that can short circuit and, on vehicles with an optional engine block heater, a coolant leak that can cause a short when the heater is plugged in. Several recalls also involve the transmission shifter. On trucks with the 10-speed automatic, the shift lever can be moved out of Park without the key present and without pressing the brake pedal, allowing the truck to roll unexpectedly. A separate issue involves the fasteners securing the transmission shifter cable bracket, which can loosen so the gear the transmission is actually in no longer matches what the shift lever shows, leading to the vehicle moving in an unintended direction. On the safety equipment side, the front passenger seat belt on SuperCab body style trucks may be misrouted through its anchor eyelet and not function as designed in a crash. These SuperCab seat belt concerns span multiple filings, and prior repair attempts on some trucks did not fully resolve the issue, meaning some vehicles may require a second repair. The remaining recalls cover the rear lighting system. A loose or misaligned connector at the tail lights can cause the brake lights, turn signals, reverse light, and rear position lamps to work intermittently or fail entirely, reducing how visible the truck is to drivers behind it.
