2024 Ford Ranger Power Windows May Not Reverse When Detecting Objects

Ford is recalling 2024 Ranger vehicles because power windows may fail to automatically reverse when detecting an object, risking pinching injuries to occupants.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a structural vehicle safety defect involving power windows that may fail to reverse when detecting objects, creating a pinching injury risk. No injuries or deaths have been explicitly reported. Per the severity rubric, recalls involving risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported score as High (3).

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2024 Ford Ranger vehicles equipped with power windows that use the global closing feature.

When the windows are closing using the global closing feature, they may fail to automatically reverse upon detecting an object. This violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 118, which requires power-operated windows to reverse automatically when they encounter resistance.

A closing window that does not reverse may exert excessive force by pinching a driver or passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury.

Owners should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or visit www.nhtsa.gov. Dealers will update the driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) software at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 13, 2024.
