What's wrong?
The LED driver module on the 2022 Ford F-150 is the electronic controller that manages part of the exterior lighting system. It helps send the right software commands to the parking lights so they stay steady when the headlights are turned on. That steady light output is part of the federal lighting standard for visibility and signaling.
These trucks were repaired under earlier Ford recalls, but the service tool did not install the intended LED driver module software on every affected truck. Without that remedy software for recalls 22V686 and 23V802, the parking lights can flicker when the headlights are activated. The issue is a software repair problem, not a broken lamp housing or bulb.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners are expected to notice the problem only when the headlights are on and the parking lights flicker instead of staying steady. If you see that behavior, describe it to a Ford dealer as an LED driver module software issue tied to campaign 25V515.

Not every 2022 Ford F-150 pickup truck is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Flickering parking lights can make the 2022 F-150 harder for other drivers to see, increasing the risk of a crash. Use extra caution in low light, rain, fog, or heavy traffic, and confirm the repair status with your VIN. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Ford F-150 is included in this recall.
- Wait for Ford's owner letter if you have not received it; letters were mailed August 20, 2025.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer and ask whether the free LED control module replacement and software update for flickering parking lights is open for your truck.
- Reference recall number 25V515 and Ford recall 25C38 when you call.
- Drive with the headlights and parking lights checked until the repair is complete, since flickering parking lights can reduce visibility.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician replaces the light emitting diode control module and updates the related software. The final dealer repair will be free once Ford opens it, with parts and labor covered under the recall. Ford uses its general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign. If you already paid for the same parking light control module or software repair before the recall notice, bring documentation to Ford customer service or the dealer service desk so the claim can be reviewed.
