Owner report 11734506 · 2026-04-29 (April 29, 2026)

2023 Ford F-600 had leaking brake booster which caused the brakes to be constantly applied. On 8/15/25 less than one year ago, owner had front rotors/pads replaced and rear rotors resurfaced and pads replaced. There were no warning lamps or messages, the only symptom was the brakes squealed so we thought it was time to change the rear rotors since they had only been resurfaced last year. The defective brake booster could have caused loss of brake assist or brake failure. This is a commercial vehicle with an approximate GVWR of 22,000lbs that is…

Recall history

5 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.

23V758000 · Wheels:Lugs/Nuts/Bolts/Studs | Power Train:Axle Hubs

Reported: 2023-11-09 (November 9, 2023)

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2022-2023 Ford Super Duty F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600 vehicles. The fasteners for the front wheel hub extender may be insufficiently tightened, which can result in the wheel and wheel extender detaching from the vehicle.

Consequence: Wheel detachment can result in a loss of vehicle control and create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the repair has been performed. Dealers will inspect the front wheel hub extender retaining nuts. If the retaining nuts are loose, dealers will replace the wheel hub extender, retaining nuts, and hub assembly. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 7, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at -866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23S59.

23V847000 · Air Bags:Frontal:Driver Clockspring/Spiral Cassette | Steering:Column

Reported: 2023-12-15 (December 15, 2023)

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2023 F-150 and Ford SD F250, F350, F450, F550, and F600 vehicles. The steering wheel clock spring may have an insufficient weld, causing a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag.

Consequence: A deactivated air bag will not deploy during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the clock spring as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 3, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.

25V315000 · Back Over Prevention:Software

Reported: 2025-05-09 (May 9, 2025)

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Bronco, F-150, 2021-2024 Edge, 2022-2025 Escape, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, F-600, 2022-2024 Expedition, 2022-2025 Transit, 2021-2023 Mach-E, 2024 Ranger, Mustang, 2021-2023 Lincoln Nautilus, 2022-2024 Navigator, and 2023-2024 Corsair vehicles. A software error may cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze, or not display when the vehicle is in reverse.

Consequence: A frozen or missing rearview camera image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: The accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air update, free of charge. This will be a phased campaign, with the remedy becoming available in different phases based on model and model years. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on June 26, 2025. Additional letters will be mailed once the final remedy is available on each phase.

26V104000 · Exterior Lighting:Tail Lights | Electrical System: Integrated Trailer Brake Control

Reported: 2026-02-20 (February 20, 2026)

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2026 F-150, 2022-2026 F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD, F-550 SD, Maverick, 2024-2026 Ranger, 2023-2026 F-600 SD, 2022-2027 Lincoln Navigator, Expedition, and 2026 E-Transit vehicles. When towing a trailer, the integrated trailer module (ITRM) may lose communication with the vehicle, possibly causing a loss of brake and turn signal lights, or a loss of brake function. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, " Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Consequence: Trailer lights or brakes that do not function can reduce the driver’s ability to control the trailer and decrease the trailers visibility to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: The integrated trailer module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 25, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C10. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning March 17, 2026.
