Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? A wiring problem in some Ford F-150 trucks may let a wire touch the rear axle. Over time this can damage the electric parking brake cables.

What's happening? The damaged cables could make the parking brake turn on while you are driving. This could cause you to lose control of the truck and raise the chance of a crash.

Does this affect me? Owners of F-150 Lariat or Limited models in Germany, the Netherlands, or Sweden may be affected.

What should I do? Stop driving the truck and ask a Ford dealer or your mechanic to check the rear axle wiring right away.
