Ford is recalling more than 870,000 of its full-sized F-150 trucks because the electronic parking brake could engage unexpectedly at any time, including while the vehicle is being driven. In some of the trucks, a wiring harness can rub against the rear axle housing, gradually wearing away insulating material on the wires. The dealer will install a protective tie strap and tape wrap to the wiring harness and will also replace the wiring harness if needed. Ford opened an investigation into this issue in late February following a number of complaints of unintended parking brake application in 2021 model-year trucks. The trucks had chafing on wiring harnesses involved in the parking brake, and the wear had gone through abrasion-resistant tape on the harnesses.
