The rear light bar has formed a crack which will allow moisture intrusion (photo attached). This is the same condition named in recall 25SB6 (NHTSA 25V731) and predecessor 23S30 (NHTSA 23V418): water droplets in the lightbar outer lens, which can cause inoperative or flickering reverse lamps. On 10/06/2026 I took the truck to Elmhurst Ford. The dealer did not point to any outside forces that caused the crack, and acknowledged the recall stating they would attempt to have it covered under warranty or extended service plan purchased through Ford as my VIN was not listed/included. The dealer later said the part number was not covered and wanted to charge a diagnostic fee for searching a part number in a database. The service manager did relent on charging the diagnostic fee. I contacted the Ford BEV customer service and they confirmed it was not covered under any warranty or extended service contract and my VIN was not part of recall VIN population even though the defect is same model year truck (2022-2023), same trim (Lariat), same part number as recalled VINs. The dealer confirmed I have the earliest part number, not superseded.  SAFETY RISK: A truck backing up without working reverse lamps is more likely to strike a pedestrian or a child below the driver's sightline, since others are not alerted the vehicle is reversing. Reverse lamps are federally required. This failure can result in serious injury or death.   REQUEST: Please document the recurring light bar cracks allowing moisture into the reverse-lamp housing, even on VINs excluded in the initial recall. This issue is more widespread than what VINs are included in the initial recall. Owners cannot be expected to pay several thousands of dollars to replace 1 defective light on a truck, when the issue is already acknowledged with a recall.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2023","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"F-150 LIGHTNING BEV","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
