Ford has announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2009 F150 trucks for failing to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, “Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.” The brake stop lamp switch may be improperly adjusted. This may result in a delay in brake stop lamp illumination when the brake pedal is depressed. In situations of very mild brake application, the brake stop lamps may not illuminate.
Delay or loss of brake stop lamp function may increase the risk of an accident. Dealers will inspect and have the brake stop lamp switch removed and reinstalled which will provide proper adjustment. The remedy will be preformed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during May 2009. Owners may contact Ford Motor Company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332, or through the internet at www.ownerconnection.com.

It is actually crazy how such a minor thing as a stop light switch’s adjustment could potentially lead to just so much chaos and harm. If you’re a 2009 F150 driver I suggest that you have this attended to pronto, before somebody rear-ends you. A stitch in time saves nine!
