February 21, 2026 · Ford Motor Company
Problem
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."
Safety risk
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.

Recent complaints

October 29, 2026Seats

The second-row power captain's chairs in my 2026 Lincoln Navigator Black Label move forward and backward while a person is sitting in them, and do not stop when they press against an occupant. The chairs do stop when they contact an object such as a box on the floor, but they do not stop when a person is seated, so there appears to be no occupant or weight sensor that stops seat travel. The seats can be moved by a button in the rear that a younger child seated nearby can easily reach, and by front-seat controls located near the seat massage control, where they can be pressed accidentally. On several occasions this has pushed and squeezed my children while they were seated in the second row.
