Ford is recalling 18,716 2023-2024 F-650 Sd, F-650 Incomplete Chassis, and F-750 Sd vehicles because the parking brake lever can release without the driver pressing the release button. An unexpected parking brake release can let the vehicle roll away, increasing crash or injury risk; the Ford dealer repair will be free once Ford makes it available.

What's wrong?
The floor-mounted parking brake handle assembly on the 2023-2024 Ford F-650 Sd, F-650 Incomplete Chassis, and F-750 Sd is the mechanical control that holds the truck still after it is parked. When the handle is set, internal locking parts and the control rod keep the parking brake engaged until the driver presses the release button.
On affected trucks, the supplier-built assembly was made with mounting bracket weld locations and parking brake control rod lengths outside Ford's specification. Those dimensions matter because the bracket position and rod length set the handle's locking function. If they are wrong, the handle can release without the release button being pressed.
Owners can notice the parking brake disengaging without pressing the release button. When that happens, the parking brake warning lamp on the instrument cluster turns off, showing the system has released.

What's the safety risk?
A parking brake release that happens unexpectedly creates a rollaway risk, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. If the handle disengages without the release button, or the warning lamp turns off after it disengages, secure the vehicle and call a Ford dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2024 Ford F-650 Sd, F-650 Incomplete Chassis, or F-750 Sd is included in this recall.
- Wait for Ford to confirm repair availability before scheduling the parking-brake-handle replacement that fixes the release-button malfunction.
- Contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 with questions and reference recall number 24V143 (Ford recall 24S09).
- Bring the owner letter Ford mailed on June 17, 2024, if you received one.
