Updated February 20, 2026
Ford is recalling certain 2021 to 2027 model-year trucks and SUVs because the integrated trailer module (ITRM) can lose communication with the vehicle while towing, potentially cutting trailer brake lights, turn signals, or trailer braking altogether. This raises the risk of a crash for the driver and other people on the road.

The hazard
Trailer lights or brakes that do not function can reduce the driver’s ability to control the trailer and decrease the trailers visibility to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.
