Affected: 2021 Ford F-150, 2020–2021 Ford F-250 SD, 2020–2021 Ford F-350 SD and 2 more. Filed with NHTSA on February 18, 2021, covering about 79,017 vehicles.

The problem

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021 F-150 and 2020-2021 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty vehicles. During manufacturing, the windshield may not have been properly bonded to the vehicle, allowing it to detach in a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 212, "Windshield Mounting."

The risk

In the event of a crash, if the windshield separates from the vehicle, it can increase the risk of injury.

The fix

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will remove and reinstall the windshield, free of charge. The recall began April 16, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 21C06.
