The recall revolves around issues with the windshield; it may not be bonded to the vehicle structure in the right way, putting drivers and passengers at risk of becoming injured.
The windshield is especially at risk of causing damage if the truck gets into an accident. The windshield may not stay in place on impact.
As of now, Ford is not aware of any injuries or accidents related to this particular problem. The automaker is planning on issuing notices to drivers in early April of 2021.
