F-150 owners can expect recall letters in September

The company says in documents posted by government safety regulators Friday that a rear wiring bundle can come in contact with the rear axle housing. That can chafe the wiring and cause a short circuit, which can turn on the parking brake without action from the driver, increasing the risk of a crash.

Owners of F-150 pickup trucks from 2021 to 2023 should have their vehicles inspected at a dealership, free of charge.

Owners can expect recall letters on September 11.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
