Known issues on the 2018 Lobo. Federal records hold eight recalls for the 2018 truck. Tailgate latches that may unlatch unexpectedly while driving are one subject; the daytime running lamps on trucks with the high series LED headlamps and autolamp function are another; a third covers certain Continental tires. The seat recliner, the engine, the brake master cylinder on the 3.5L and an aftermarket ball joint also appear. NHTSA has 2708 owner complaints on record for this year. Tailgate latch procedures, exterior lighting wiring diagrams and tire specifications for the 3.5L V6 and 5.0L V8 trucks are the parts of the manual that speak to those campaigns.
