Recall 19V-808: 2018–2019 Ford F-250 SD, 2018–2019 Ford F-350 SD and 1 more
Ford Motor Company recall for exterior lighting, reported to NHTSA on Nov 12, 2019, covering about 86,296 vehicles.
The problem
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018-2019 F-250, F-350 and F-450 Super Duty trucks. The Daytime Running Lights (DRL) may not dim when the headlight switch is moved into the "On" position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
DRL that cannot dim may reduce the visibility of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Ford has notified owners, and dealers will reprogram the Body Control Module (BCM) software, free of charge. The recall began November 25, 2019. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19C10.

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.safercar.gov.
