— A Ford recall of 4,380,609 vehicles in the U.S. has been announced due to trailer towing problems.
Another 600,000 vehicles are being recalled in Canada.
The recall affects the following models because the brake lights, turn signals and brakes may malfunction when towing trailers.
2021-2026 Ford F-150
2022-2026 Ford F-250 SD
2022-2026 Lincoln Navigator
Ford Expedition 2022-2026
2022-2026 Ford Maverick
2024-2026 Ford Ranger
2026 Ford E Transit
Ford says the integrated trailer module (ITRM) may lose connection with the vehicle when towing a trailer.
If the problem occurs, the driver will see a message on the instrument cluster that says “Trailer Brake Module Error” and the turn signal will flash rapidly. In addition, the message “Blind Spot Assist Failure” may appear on the instrument panel.
According to Ford, loss of communication with the vehicle can occur with or without a trailer connected when starting the vehicle after exiting “sleep mode.” In this case, the driver will see the message “Trailer brake module error”.
As of Feb. 4, Ford was aware of 405 warranty claims in the U.S. and about 400 claims in Canada, but there have been no crash or injury reports.
Ford recall notices will be sent between March 17 and March 23, 2026. Ford will update the ITRM software in May 2026, either via an over-the-air software update or through dealers.
Owners can contact Ford at 866-436-7332. The Ford number for this recall is 26C10.
