Not only will thousands of Ford F-Series Super Duty pickups need to go back for potentially buggy daytime running lights, as a recall detailed earlier this week, but the automaker also announced a larger campaign for the truck.

Ford said on Friday that 231,664 F-250F-350 and F-450 Super Duty pickups are covered in a new recall for tailgates that may open unintentionally.
