2025 Motorhome Chassis
This Notice Applies to Your Vehicle, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Ford Motor Company has decided that certain 2025 - 2026 F53/F59 Stripped Chassis Vehicles with the
Hydro-Boost Brake System including the VIN shown above, fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108 Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.
We apologize for this situation and want to assure you that, with your assistance, we will correct this
condition. Our commitment, together with your dealer, is to provide you with the highest level of service
and support.
What is the issue?
It is possible that your vehicle’s brake pedal may not fully return to the rest
position after being depressed. As a result, the stop lamps may remain
illuminated when the brakes are not in use.
What is the risk?
Stop lamps that illuminate when the brakes are not in use can increase the risk
of a crash.
What will Ford and
your dealer do?
Parts are available to repair your vehicle. Ford Motor Company has
authorized your dealer to inspect the brake pedal for a full return by using the
Ford Diagnostic & Repair System (FDRS) scan tool and a manual review. If the
brake pedal does not make a full return, the dealer will manipulate the system
as described in the technical instructions. This service will be performed free of
charge.
How long will it take? The time needed for this repair is less than one-half day. However, due to
service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a
longer period of time. In addition, your vehicle will require an inspection to
determine if parts need to be ordered.
What should you do? Please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for Recall
26C17. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which is printed near your name at
the beginning of this letter.
Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this
compliance recall. You should contact your dealer for an appointment to have
your vehicle remedied as soon as practicable.
If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access ford.com/support
for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions.
Ford Motor Company wants you to have this compliance recall completed on
your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to
have the work completed.
Please note: Federal law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this
recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten
days.
