## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2022\-2023 F\-150 BEV vehicles.  The rear lightbar may have microcracks in the outer lens that allows moisture to accumulate, which can result in inoperative or flickering reverse lights.


## What can happen

Inoperative or flickering reverse lights may not alert other driver's that the vehicle is reversing, increasing the risk of injury or crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the rear lightbar, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed October 9, 2023.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 23S30.
