Recall 26E046000: Electrical System, Integrated Trailer Brake Control

NHTSA recall 26E046000 · announced July 14, 2026 · Ford · 315 units affected

The problem

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain ITRM accessory kits with part number RL3Z-19H322-AA, ML3Z-19H322-AA, AB, BA, BB, CA, and CB that were sold as aftermarket accessory kits for Ford 2021-2026 F-150 vehicles. The integrated trailer module (ITRM) may lose communication with the vehicle, causing a loss of brake function, turn signals and brake lights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, " Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

A loss of trailer brakes or lights can reduce the driver’s ability to control the trailer and decrease the trailers visibility to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Dealers will update the ITRM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 28, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C35.
