Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.

According to Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 23B50: "The Battery Charger Control Module (BCCM) software installed on your vehicle does not have a transfer function that predicts the charging port pin/terminal temperature."

According to General Motors Recall 23V247: "These vehicles are equipped with an unused circuit that a final-stage manufacturer may elect to use to install an optional rear HVAC system. If the final-stage manufacturer leaves the circuit's connectors or cut wires unsealed, exposure to moisture or contamination may, over time, cause corrosion. This could result in high current draw through the circuit at the vehicles' lower left side B-pillar. Unintended release of excessive heat from the circuit may pose a risk of a vehicle fire and increase the risk of injury."

According to Lightning EMotors Recall 22V934: Due to multiple software and hardware discrepancies internal to the Romeo Power battery packs installed with these powertrains, the vehicle may fail to operate in cold temperatures, fail to start when the key is placed on, or may lose traction power while driving. A loss of traction power without warning while driving may increase the risk of a crash.

According to Ford Motor Company Recall 22V925 âOn your vehicle, the paint on your fuel tank may not have adhered properly and may peel. Extended peeling may expose the metal on the fuel tank and lead to long-term corrosion. Ford Motor Company is working closely with its suppliers to produce parts for this repair. When parts become available Ford Motor Company will notify you via mail to schedule a service appointment with your dealer for repairs to be completed free of charge (parts and labor).â
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
