FORD has recalled almost 2700 Ranger, F150 and Everest vehicles due to a fire risk.
The recall affects some Ranger, F150 and Everest 2019-2025 models and is due to an issue in the lighting system.
Due to a manufacturing defect, moisture may enter the vehicle's ARB Solis lights wiring harness causing corrosion. If this occurs, the corrosion could lead to excessive heat developing and then to a vehicle fire while parked or driving.
Affected vehicles should be parked in an open space and away from flammable materials and structures, until the defect has been rectified by Ford dealerships.

A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users or bystanders and/or damage to property.
Until parts become available, Ford is providing Solis lights deactivation instructions which will enable customers to deactivate the Solis lights as an interim repair and continue to drive the vehicle while waiting for the final repair.
