Ford Explorer, Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer): Lights and Instruments

Affects Ford Explorer, Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) · 2025 — about 18K vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain vehicles, the body control module (BCM) may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the trailer taillights may not work when towing a trailer. Note: This problem could cause a trailer error message to display in the instrument cluster and various electrical systems not to work properly. Safety Risk: Trailer taillights that don't work could make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the BCM.
