What is wrong

Ford is recalling certain model year 2011 f-650 and f-750 trucks, equipped with air brakes and a trailer package or tractor package, for an incorrectly programmed ABS module. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems (ABS)."

The risk

An affected vehicle may not display a trailer ABS fault in the cab of the truck warning the driver of an existing trailer ABS failure. Such an ABS failure may result in trailer brake lock-up, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will notify owners and replace the ABS module free of charge. The safety recall began on may 18, 2011. Owners may contact ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-[removed].
