Ford RANGER and EVEREST (2021–2023)

Published 2023-08-29

What the hazard is

A sudden stop whilst driving at low speed and the rear brake lamps not illuminating as intended, could increase the potential risk of an accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.

What to do

Ford will contact affected owners in writing requesting they make an appointment at their preferred Ford Authorised Dealership for repair of the exit warning system, free of charge.

Defect

Due to a software issue, under certain circumstances if the battery level drops below a critical threshold, the transmission may shift into Park when the vehicle is travelling at speeds below 6km/h. This may cause a sudden stop without the rear brake lamps illuminating as intended.
