While the 2023 Ford F-150 is generally well-regarded, it's important to be aware of recent recalls:
Rear Axle Hub Recall: Ford is recalling 103,174 F-150 pickup trucks from the 2023 to 2025 model years due to a potential rollaway risk caused by a rear axle defect. The affected vehicles are equipped with the Trailer Tow Max Duty package and a 9.75-inch HD axle featuring a three-quarter float axle design. The recall centers on the rear axle-hub bolts, which may break over time from fatigue. This can cause micro-movements between the hub and axle-shaft splines, leading to spline wear and a potential loss of torque transfer in rear-drive mode—possibly resulting in a loss of drive power. Additionally, worn splines could cause the truck to roll while parked unless the parking brake is engaged. Ford will notify owners and replace both rear-axle assemblies with updated components that include redesigned splines and fasteners. Dealers were informed in mid-August, and the owner notification campaign will run through May 22, 2026. Concerned owners can check their vehicle’s recall status on the NHTSA website. Car and Driver
Rearview Camera Software Update: Ford is recalling over 200,000 vehicles, including certain 2023 F-150 models, due to a software defect that can cause rearview camera malfunctions. Affected cameras may display a blank screen or continue showing the rearview image after reversing, potentially distracting drivers and increasing accident risks. Ford will provide a camera software update at no cost to vehicle owners. Notification letters will be mailed by July 28, 2025. AP News
Parking Brake Wiring Harness Recall: Ford is recalling approximately 870,000 F-150 trucks from the 2021 through 2023 model years due to the risk of an unexpected activation of the electric parking brake caused by a potential wiring issue. The recall covers trucks equipped with a single exhaust system. Contact with the rear axle housing may damage the wiring harness, causing the electric parking brake to activate unexpectedly. Ford will install a protective tie strap, tape wrap, and replace the harness as necessary. CNBC
