AUSEV has recalled two examples of the 2021-2023 Ford F-150 Lightning, citing a potential fault with the rear light bar assembly unit that could cause moisture to enter it.
The affected vehicles are stamped 2021 to 2023 models, but may have been sold at a later date.
The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: "Due to a manufacturing defect, moisture may enter the rear light bar assembly unit. This can cause the reverse lamps to become inoperative or to flicker intermittently.
"If the traffic behind is unable to identify if the vehicle is reversing, it could increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.
"Owners of affected vehicles should contact their respective dealers to schedule an appointment to have their vehicle inspected and rectification carried out free of charge."
A full list of vehicle identification numbers for the two vehicles involved in the recall can be found here.
