| 26V104000 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL | 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." | 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. | 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. | Feb 2026 | 2026-1 |

| May 2026 | Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions | POWER TRAIN | Some 2023-2026 F-150 Raptor R vehicles may experience an intermittent extended crank condition when starting the vehicle with no powertrain related diagnostics trouble codes (DTC) stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). This condition will not prevent the vehicle from starting. This may be due to the software in the PCM. This condition does not affect vehicle durability, and no additional diagnosis or service is required for this condition at this time. Inform customers that they can continue to drive the vehicle and engineering is currently working on a solution for this condition that is expected by the end of Q3 2026. Replacement or reprogramming of the PCM will not resolve this condition. Monitor Professional Technician System (PTS) for additional information and schedule service appointments for customers once the repair becomes available. <br /><br /> If a vehicle exhibits this concern, click on the "Submit Global Concern Report (GCR)" link at the upper right of the PTS Vehicle ID screen (vehicle identification number ÝVIN¨ required) and fill out the form. Do not use the "Report A Problem" | 11032757 |

| Apr 2026 | Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Some 2025-2026 F-150 vehicles may exhibit a no audio/sound condition. This may be due to the software in the audio control module (ACM). To determine if it is a software concern, disconnect the vehicle's 12-volt battery cables for 10 minutes and reconnect. If the concern is still present, continue with normal diagnostics in Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 415-00 Information and Entertainment System > General Information > Diagnosis and Testing and repair as necessary outside of this article. If the no audio/sound concern is resolved, reprogram the ACM using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS). Should the vehicle exhibit the symptom after the software update, engineering is currently working on a further enhanced solution for this condition that is expected by September 2026. Monitor Professional Technician System (PTS) for additional information and schedule service appointments for customers once the repair becomes available. If a customer's vehicle exhibits this concern, submit a Vehicle Concern Report. To submit a report, click on the "Submit Global Concern Report | 11031627 |

| Apr 2026 | Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | Some 2026 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 3.5L EcoBoost engine and 2025-2026 F-150 Raptor vehicles equipped with a 5.2L or 3.5L engine may exhibit a lack of power while in transport mode and up to 1 hour after exiting transport mode. This may be due to the vehicles secure power mode feature. When active, this feature reduces the vehicles acceleration and limits the top speed to as low as 40 mph (65 km/h). This feature does not set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or display any on-screen messaging to alert the driver. Secure power mode automatically disables after exiting transport mode, waiting 1 hour, cycling the ignition status to key OFF for at least 1 minute, and then starting the vehicle. This feature does not affect vehicle durability, and no additional diagnostics or service is required for this condition. If the vehicle exhibits secure power mode symptoms that are described above, do not attempt to diagnose or submit a warranty claim for it. If these symptoms persist after exiting transport mode, waiting at least 1 hour, cycling the ignition status to key OFF for at least 1 minute, and starting | 11031412 |

| Apr 2026 | Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions | SERVICE BRAKES | Some 2025-2026 Bronco/Expedition/Navigator/F-150/Ranger vehicles may exhibit a "Check Brake System" message in the instrument panel cluster (IPC) and/or an illuminated anti-lock brake system (ABS) indicator with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C0563 stored in the ABS module. This may be due to air still trapped in the system after prior bleeding attempts and/or brake service mode being enabled. The applicable pinpoint test (PPT) in Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 206-09 has been updated to improve diagnostics for this concern. Make sure the latest software version of Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) is being used when performing the brake system pressure bleeding routine. | 11031298 |
| Apr 2026 | Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Some 2025-2026 F-150 vehicles may exhibit an intermittent or constant no audio/no volume condition and/or the inability to change SiriusXM® channels using presets. This may be due to the software in the audio control module (ACM). To correct the condition, reprogram the ACM using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS). For claiming, use causal part 18C869 and labor operations 12651D and 12651D4. | 11031296 |
| Apr 2026 | Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Various 2020-2026 Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with blind spot information system (BLIS) may experience an inoperative blind spot monitoring with a "Blind Spot System Fault" message displayed in the instrument panel cluster (IPC). This may also be accompanied by diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) B118C:11 and/or B118C:15 stored in the driver door module (DDM), and/or B118D:11 and/or B118D:15 stored in the passenger door module (PDM). This may be due to the wiring connector from the mirror to the BLIS module. If diagnostics lead to an internal mirror wiring harness fault, a new lower level BLIS light pigtail is now released for service. It is not necessary to replace the exterior mirror assembly. Use part number SC3Z-14A411-B to resolve the concern. | 11031263 |
