Ford is recalling 140,201 Ranger trucks across the 2024 to 2026 model years due to a potential fire risk stemming from a wiring issue. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that the wiring associated with the sun visor and headliner could be incorrectly routed or excessively taped, leading to degradation and possible electrical shorts near the A-pillar. Ford will inspect the wiring and update the body control module software, replacing any damaged harnesses at no charge to truck owners. The recall will be implemented in phases, starting with certain 2025 model-year trucks, with owner notification letters set to be sent out beginning the week of May 31. Interim notices were mailed to affected owners on April 27, and a final repair solution is expected later in the summer.
