Ford announced that it will recall some 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning all- electric pickup trucks. This is its first-ever all-electric pickup truck. The reason for the recall is that the low tire pressure warning system may malfunction. This safety recall is specifically for vehicles using 20-inch or 22-inch all-season tires.

Ford said the tire pressure monitoring system indicator light may not illuminate when a vehicle's tire pressure is too low, which may result in customers not receiving adequate warning of the low tire pressure condition. Ford explains that the problem is because the recommended tire cold inflation pressure value in the body control module (BCM) is incorrectly set to 35 psi instead of the correct inflation pressure of 42 psi. Therefore, the warning will not sound until the tire pressure is below 35 psi, 7 lbs below the correct warning threshold.

The 18-inch wheel and tire combination that is standard on Pro and XLT trims is not included in the recall. But customers who order the XLT trim can also choose to add 20-inch wheels, but the Pro trim is only available with 18-inch wheels and tires. This recall only affects vehicles equipped with 20-inch and 22-inch tires.

Regarding low tire pressure, which can adversely affect a vehicle’s drivability and safety, Ford said: “Low tire pressure may cause poor vehicle handling and may result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a collision. Ford encourages customers to check Do their tire pressures match the numbers provided on the tire and load information sticker located on the front of the driver's side? "Formal notification from Ford to dealers will begin on June 27, and customers will begin on June 28. Get notified via email and the FordPass mobile app. Dealers will update the body control module software for vehicles that have not been delivered and for customers who want immediate remediation. This update takes approximately 20 minutes.

Ford will also make a fix available to all existing customers of the F-150 Lightning within 30 days via an upgrade software update. The recall covers 2,666 vehicles in the United States and 220 vehicles in Canada. There have been no accidents related to this condition. or injury report.
