What's wrong

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2014 F-150 vehicles manufactured March 1, 2014, to March 13, 2014. The affected vehicles may have a brake pedal position switch that is improperly adjusted. As a result, the brake lights may illuminate with a delay or not at all.

Consequence

If the brake lights fail to illuminate, or illuminate after a delay, there is an increased risk of a crash.
