## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2022\-2023 F\-150 Lightning vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 23V801.  The SYNC software may fail to activate the electronic stability control \(ESC\) system at the beginning of each ignition cycle.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems."


## What can happen

Failure to reset the ESC to active may result in the driver unknowingly operating the vehicle without electronic stability control, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will update the Accessory Protocol Interface Module \(APIM\) software, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed June 18, 2025.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 25C15.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 888\-275\-9171\) or go to nhtsa.gov.
