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.
