Ford has recalled more than 870,000 of its full-sized F-150 trucks because the electronic parking brake could engage unexpectedly at any time, including while the vehicle is being driven. That could cause a loss of control and possibly a crash.

The recall, posted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s recall website earlier this month, applies to some 2021 through 2023 model year F-150 trucks with single-pipe exhaust systems. Ford will begin mailing recall notices to owners around September 11. In some of the trucks, a wiring harness can rub against the rear axle housing, gradually wearing away insulating material on the wires.

The dealer will install a protective tie strap and tape wrap to the wiring harness and will also replace the wiring harness, if needed. The work will be performed at no cost to the owner. Ford\n \n opened an investigation into this issue in late February following a number of complaints of unintended parking brake application in 2021 model year trucks.
