2010 Ford F-150 Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1026613
Internal NHTSA #	10554947
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	FORD
Model	F-150
Model Year	2010
File date	03/12/13
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The original center high-mount brake light on the cab of my truck has a faulty gasket and does not form a proper seal against water. Water has leaked into the cab of the truck on numerous occasions, causing damage to the headliner of the vehicle, and unknown damage/rust to the floor of the vehicle due to water running down the interior trim panels and underneath the carpeting. I contacted the local ford dealerships service department and was told that ford was aware of the issue, and that the gasket and lamp housing on newer models of trucks was redesigned to form a better seal against water. I was told that i could either buy a new lamp assembly at the cost of approx. $115, or could use silicone sealant around the light. The cost of a replacement headliner was not addressed, however a new headliner for my vehicle will cost approx. $895 (plus labor) bringing a total in parts alone to approx. $1010. 00. This is all due to a faulty designed gasket that was acknowledged and redesigned. There should be a voluntary recall issued by ford motor co. As a quality issue, not necessarily a safety issue. I have read several other reports of this same occurrence in your "complaints" section on both 2010 & 2009 model f-150 trucks. In some instances, the dealerships took responsibility and replaced the faulty parts. I have filed a complaint with ford motor co. And am awaiting a response, however, there are possibly several hundred, if not several thousands of other truck owners facing the same issue. Ford motor co. Should take responsibility for their faulty product, or this could result in a class-action lawsuit.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
