Issue:
On certain trucks, the turn signal telltale may flash at the same speed when a turn signal bulb fails. As a result, you may not notice when a turn signal bulb is not working. Canadian regulations require a change in the turn signal flash rate when a bulb fails.
Safety Risk:
A turn signal telltale that doesn't work properly could cause you to be unaware when a turn signal bulb fails. Additionally, turn signals that do not work may cause a person not to recognize when a driver intends to turn or change lanes. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the body control module (BCM).

Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the powertrain control module (PCM) software or replace the engine, as necessary.

Issue:
On certain trucks equipped with the trailer tow package, a wiring circuit to the trailer tow electrical connector is missing. As a result, the trailer tail lamps won't work when towing a trailer.
Safety Risk:
