## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain model year 2014 F\-150 vehicles manufactured March 1, 2014, to March 13, 2014.  The affected vehicles may have a brake pedal position switch that is improperly adjusted.  As a result, the brake lights may illuminate with a delay or not at all.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."


## What can happen

If the brake lights fail to illuminate, or illuminate after a delay, there is an increased risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Ford has notified owners, and dealers will adjust the brake pedal position switch, free of charge.  The recall began on November 24, 2014.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 14C09.  Note: Until the vehicle has been remedied, owners are advised not to use their cruise control system.


## Notes

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.
