Why was it recalled?
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024-2026 Ranger vehicles. The sun visor or headliner wiring harnesses may be improperly positioned or have excessive tape thickness, which can result in damaged wires.
Consequence
Damaged wires can create an electrical short and cause a fire in the A-pillar area, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.
