SUMMARY:
Ford is recalling 8,735 M/Y 2009 F-150 trucks for failing to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, "Lamps,

illumination when the brake pedal is depressed. In situations of very mild brake application, the brake stop lamps may not illuminate.
CONSEQUENCE:
Delay or loss of brake stop lamp function may increase the risk of an accident.
REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect and have the brake stop lamp switch removed and reinstalled which will provide proper adjustment. The remedy will be performed
free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before May 13, 2009. Owners may contact Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center at
