Today, I received my first recall notice for my Explorer ST. This recall covers the "electronic components of the printed circuit board of the Body Control Module C (BCMC) that MAY have been improperly soldered. As a result, when a trailer is connected to the vehicle and the vehicle's trailer tow electrical connector is utilized, the trailer's taillamps may not illuminate as intended". Ford's letter went on to say "Inoperative trailer tail lamps reduce visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk for a crash."

However, please sit down for this, your vehicle may also experience the following operability problems with:
__inoperative power window/mirror switches
__vehicle's air conditioning system may blow warm air
__operability issues with DC/AC inverter
__glove box light
__vanity lights or dome lamps
__alarm portion of the horn
__rear defroster
__USB chargers
__and/or 12 volt points.

Thank God the car is still considered to be drivable according to Ford!! The parts for the fix are not out yet but is expected before the end of the year (2025).
