That's apparently not quite the case, since Ford has been forced to recall around 20,450 Ranger pickups to replace a defective switch that could prevent turn signals, hazard lamps, tail lamps and brake lights from working.
The recall affects Rangers built between January 25 and April 25, although some defective items might also have been installed on other vehicles as replacement parts. Ford says that the switch was used in 2004 to 2011 Rangers, 2002 to 2005 Excursions and 2002 through 2007 F-Series pickups. Ford dealers would have had to replace light switches in those vehicles.
Ford and NHTSA say that the recall will commence in mid-August when it will instruct dealers to replace the faulty switch. Concerned owners are directed to contact their dealers.
