Official NHTSA campaign record

Why the reported issue matters

Loss of trailer brake functionality can extend the distance required to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.

Official NHTSA campaign record

Prepare your observation

Keep existing warning or braking observations for the service provider. Do not conduct braking tests or work under the vehicle from this guide.

A reported defect describes the campaign. It does not establish what caused a symptom on your individual vehicle, and absence of a symptom does not establish that an open recall is complete.

The reported manufacturer remedy

Dealers will update the integrated trailer brake control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 11, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S18.

This describes the dated source record. Current arrangements for your VIN remain unconfirmed.

Your campaign-specific service questions

Use these questions with the official report. Keep the answers beside the remedy record; “discussed” records a conversation, not a completed repair.

  1. Does the manufacturer confirm that campaign 25V132000 applies to this VIN, including the report’s equipment and production restrictions?

    A matching model and year is only a starting point. The official lookup or manufacturer must establish the individual vehicle’s status.

  2. What remedy, required parts or software, and appointment arrangements are currently available for this VIN, and which interim instructions apply?

    The source does not explicitly establish current remedy availability. Ask the manufacturer about the applicable remedy, required parts or software, appointment arrangements and any interim instructions.

  3. Which braking or stability-control function is involved, and what current use or transport guidance applies to this VIN?

    Compare the answer with the reported component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL.

  4. Which module and software completion record demonstrate that the update for 25V132000 was applied?

    Ask the service provider how the campaign-specific software remedy is documented. A dashboard reset is not evidence of the specified update.

  5. How does this campaign relate to 22V193000, and does work recorded under an earlier campaign satisfy the current remedy?

    Show any earlier work order. Related recall numbers can describe expanded or repeated work; ask the manufacturer to reconcile the records.

  6. What dated document records the remedy performed under 25V132000, and what should I do if the reported concern remains?

    Keep campaign completion and unresolved symptoms as separate questions. A saved worksheet or booked appointment does not establish a repair.
