EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The excessive brightness may affect the vision of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
4 safety recall campaigns, 2 defect investigations, 32 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
The excessive brightness may affect the vision of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
A seat back with an improperly assembled recliner mechanism may have reduced strength and may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The driver may inadvertently turn the wrong direction to avoid an object behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
When the heater is plugged in, prolonged corrosion could cause a resistive short, increasing the risk of overheated or melted wiring which can increase the risk of a fire.
Two 2019 FORD F-450s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
