2013 FORD F-150 — Complaint #1542740

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:INTERIOR filed February 25, 2019

NHTSA complaint #1542740 (ODI reference 11182236) concerns a 2013 FORD F-150 and was filed on February 25, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 24, 2019. The vehicle had 65,500 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Michigan based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:rearview mirrors/devices:interior, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-150 cohort independently describe similar visibility:rearview mirrors/devices:interior failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2013 FORD F-150 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
