What's wrong, in plain English

Ford is recalling certain F-150 Raptor Super Cab pickup trucks that do not have a moonroof. These trucks have structural braces that help support the roof, and the braces may be missing rivets at the point where they attach to the roof rail. Without those rivets in place, the roof structure in that area is not as strong as it should be, which can matter in certain kinds of crashes.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your truck is included in this recall.
2. Contact a Ford dealer, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332, to have the roof brace rivets installed.
3. The repair is free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 17V598000.
