25SB6/25V731 Rear Lightbar Inspection: Parts Available #73

[RocketGhost]

All I can say is the document I referred to was posted by @Mike G from OASIS in this post. It is dated November 2025 and is described as a supplement to the original tech notes.

The original Ford Tech Notes on Recall #1 are here. They are different in that the Tech must be certified Competency 10, photo proof is now required,and they emphasize that the screws must be discarded.

The NHSTA doc you posted certainly has more info - but differs from what Ford is publishing to the techs in the Ford system. Maybe they will update their instructions to match the NHSTA document at some point.

Keep in mind there are two separate recalls. The document Mike G posted are instructions for Recall #1 (note the recall number at the top). Ford went ahead and updated the instructions for the first recall so that it can be performed correctly for any trucks that haven't had it done yet. The document I posted is for Recall #2 (note its recall number). It is issued only to trucks that had the first recall performed, presumably before Ford updated the instructions.

If you've had the first recall done they won't perform it again. It is marked as complete for your truck. They can't "undo" completion and perform it again. The remedy is to issue a new, separate recall. Indeed, the final instructions for the second recall will likely look similar to the updated first recall instructions, with the exception that you won't automatically get a lightbar replacement. If they see the plastic push pins, they know that the bar was replaced correctly and shouldn't be subject to cracking.

My factory light bar showed no condensation issues, but I had it replaced under the original recall. My replacement, as of last night, now has condensation in it and unlit areas of the red lighting.

And on further inspection, there is condensation in both reverse lamps and one is flickering.

I'm on my 3rd light bar replacement since the first recall on my 22 Lariat.
All of them have taken on water on the right half of the bar from the backup light to the passenger tail light. I received this new install psa right after the latest light bar replacement.
I hope the dealer did the install right, or I will be back again for the reinstall of the light bar and roll away psa software deal.

Has anyone heard of a fix being available for this yet?

My Recall status panel still says waiting for parts.

 

[MichaelCA]

Still not available yet. I just had the tech update the modules for the trailer and park but was unable to get the lightbar one done.

Good to know. I have 3 open recalls. Coming up on my 90k mile service. I'd like to get it all done in one shot.

 

[RocketGhost]

I've got 4 recalls, and I'm too waiting on the light bar one to be ready so I can have them all done at once.

Crazy timing then, cmon lol.

I just tried to schedule it on the app. "This recall cannot be scheduled right now due to unavailability of remedy or parts." Guess I'll have to wait a bit.

Pretty sure it just showed up in my app today. Might take time to “percolate” Or maybe mine will disappear in the next day or so due to some sort of premature glitch. I scheduled service with my local dealer through the app. Earliest appointment I got was first thing in the morning at the dealership on 4 June. I’ll post here if anything changes.
