NHTSA Complaint about BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: OTHER filed November 9, 2021
NHTSA complaint #1777844 (ODI reference 11439939) concerns a 2018 FORD F-150 and was filed on November 9, 2021. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 3, 2021. The report was geocoded to South Carolina based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as back over prevention: sensing system: other, 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. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
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 back over prevention: sensing system: other failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.

Due to the safety concern I immediately scheduled an inspection at my local authorized Ford service center. This malfunction has been confirmed by an Authorized Ford dealer and service center on 11/04/2021. The system failure was duplicated upon inspection by the Ford service technician.
