Transport Canada recall 2026288 · manufacturer campaign 26C27

10 June 2026

Transport Canada lists: F 150 2018–2020

What is wrong

On certain trucks, the recall repairs completed by a Ford dealer during recall 20C03 (Transport Canada recall no. 2020-071) may not have been done correctly. As a result, a second repair is required. On certain trucks, a software problem could cause the daytime running lamps (DRLs) to remain on when switching the master lighting switch from the ''Autolamp'' position to the ''headlamp on'' position. Canadian regulations require the DRLs to turn off when the headlamps are switched on.

Why it matters

Daytime running lamps that stay on could cause glare for oncoming drivers and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to update the body control module software.

Transport Canada recall 2020071 · manufacturer campaign 20C03

21 February 2020

Transport Canada lists: F 150 2018–2020

What is wrong

On certain trucks, there may be a problem with the software that controls the daytime running lights (DRLs). When the DRLs are on and the master lighting switch is rotated from the “Autolamp” position to the “headlamp on” position, the DRLs do not lower to parking light brightness. Canadian regulations require that the DRLs turn off when the headlights are turned on. Note: This only affects trucks equipped with LED headlights and the Autolamp feature (automatic headlights).

Why it matters

Lights that are too bright could cause glare for oncoming drivers.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to update the body control module (BCM) software.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a clip that locks the gear shift cable to the transmission may not be fully seated. Over time, this could allow the transmission to be in a gear state different than the gear shift position selected by the driver. This condition could allow the driver to move the shifter to Park and remove the ignition key while the transmission gear may not be in Park. If the parking brake is not applied, this could result in unintended vehicle movement, which would increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
