Ford F-150: Electrical
Affects Ford F-150 · 2015 — about 3K vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), when the ACC is engaged, the driver may experience unexpected braking while passing a large, highly reflective vehicle. An unexpected ACC braking event could increase the risk of a crash involving a trailing vehicle. During this unexpected braking event, the Collision Warning System red warning light may also flash and an audible tone may be heard. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the cruise control module with updated ACC radar software. Note: The brake lights would illuminate while the brakes are applied by the ACC system, and the driver could still override the ACC system at any time using the accelerator pedal, brake pedal or by cancelling ACC through the steering wheel switches.
