EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Bronco, 2023 Super Duty F-250, and 2019-2023 Ranger vehicles. The Tire and Loading Information (TREAD) label states the incorrect load carrying capacity, which can result in an overloaded vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- What it can cause
- An overloaded vehicle increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Ford will mail a new TREAD label to install over the existing label, free of charge. Owners will also have the option to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have the new label installed, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 21, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23C18.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 29,607 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 86% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 51 times before this, most recently in May 2022 as 22V384000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 8 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,187 complaints with NHTSA, 359 of them before this campaign was filed. 5 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2019, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 48 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V489000 (back over prevention), 26V468000 (engine), 26V403000 (structure), 26V299000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on May 26, 2023 as campaign 23V379000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
