Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain integrated trailer module (ITRM) accessory kits sold as aftermarket accessories for Ford 2021-2026 F-150 vehicles. The affected kits include part numbers RL3Z-19H322-AA, ML3Z-19H322-AA, AB, BA, BB, CA, and CB.

The integrated trailer module may lose communication with the vehicle, which can cause a loss of brake function, turn signals, and brake lights.

A loss of trailer brakes or lights can reduce the driver’s ability to control the trailer and decrease the trailer's visibility to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will update the ITRM software free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 28, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
