Ford has issued a recall for more than 1,600 units of the current-generation Ranger ute after identifying a braking system fault that could compromise safety.
The Issue
According to the company’s recall notice, a software problem may prevent the brake boost function from working correctly. This could lead to reduced braking performance, requiring drivers to apply extra pedal force and potentially increasing stopping distances.
If the fault occurs, drivers will be alerted by warning lights and audible alerts on the instrument cluster, including indicators for the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), ESC (Electronic Stability Control), and the brake system.
Vehicles Affected
-
Total recalled: 1,643 units

Owners can confirm if their vehicle is included by checking the official VIN list provided by Ford.
Safety Risk
Ford warns that the braking fault could increase the risk of an accident, potentially leading to serious injury or death for vehicle occupants and other road users.
What Owners Should Do
Owners of affected vehicles are advised to contact their local Ford dealer immediately to arrange for a free inspection and rectification. The company has confirmed that the required repairs will be carried out at no cost.
๐ Bottom line: If you own a 2024–2025 Ford Ranger, check the recall notice and VIN list right away to ensure your vehicle is safe.
