Summary:
Ford Motor Company "Ford" is recalling certain 2023 F-53 recreational stripped chassis and F-59 commercial stripped chassis vehicles. Corrosion in the Smart Data Link Connector "SDLC" may interfere with the Controller Area Network "CAN" communication, resulting in an inoperative instrument panel. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 101, "Control and Displays" and 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems." |
||
|
Consequence:
An inoperative instrument panel cannot show critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash. |

|
Remedy:
Dealers will install a wire harness connector, and inspect and replace the SDLC module, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 26, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23C24. |
