What's wrong, in plain English

Some Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 trucks have driver and front passenger door windows that may not reverse when they hit an obstacle. This can happen if the door control module loses power briefly and resets while the window is moving. When that happens, the window's anti-pinch feature may fail to notice something near the top of the window and won't automatically reverse direction.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Ford dealer, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
3. The repair (a software update) is free.
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 23V507000.
