870,000 Ford F-150 Trucks Recalled: Emergency Brake Could Activate Without Warning
It's definitely not a good day for Ford, which is on its second large-scale of the last few days. This time, the problem is rather serious, as it concerns the electronic emergency brake on more than 870,000 units of the F-150 pickup, 2021-2023 model-years.
The NHTSA , the equivalent of Transport Canada, says the models concerned were built between January 8, 2020 and February 25, 2023. Ford estimates that the defect is only present in around 1 percent of the recalled models. Understandably, it can't take any chances and is recalling as many vehicles as possible.
The problem is that the wire that activates the electronic parking brake is part of this wiring harness. If it is damaged, a short circuit can occur, activating the parking brake without the driver's intervention, which could lead to an accident. Ford says it is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem, but has received 918 warranty claims and three field incident reports. Corrosion on the rear axle housing tends to damage wiring even faster. This should be of even greater concern to Canadian owners, given our climate.
