Ford RANGER and EVEREST (2022)
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 to have repair carried out, free of charge. Note: Your vehicle must be rectified even if works were performed under the previous recall (Campaign number: 23S40).
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 6 km/h. This may cause a sudden stop without the rear brake lamps illuminating as intended.
