Ford Ranger: Incorrect control panel of the child safety lock

07/09/2023

Ford is recalling 4,529 Ranger models built between 2022 and 2023 to workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that the child lock in the area of the rear door lock has to be set manually, but the vehicles are equipped with an incorrect control panel. This falsely suggests locking at the push of a button.

The wrong switch is replaced in the workshop. The KBA investigates the measure under reference number “013067“, and the internal manufacturer code is “23S38“.
