Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR filed May 20, 2024

NHTSA complaint #1992974 (ODI reference 11589752) concerns a 2017 FORD F-150 and was filed on May 20, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on May 20, 2024. The report was geocoded to Washington based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:glass, side/rear, 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 visibility:glass, side/rear 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 2017 FORD F-150 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

Rear window shattered this morning during start up. I auto started the vehicle this morning at approximately 3:35. When I went out to get on about 7 minutes later, smoke bellowed out the door. I quickly shut off the vehicle and opened the hood, nothing indicated an issue.m but when I walked around the vehicle I noticed the rear window buldging out and shattered, the window was hot to the touch.
