2016 FORD E-450 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 Ford E-450 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the optional trailer brake controller on vehicles with the 6.8L engine, where the system can fail to apply the trailer brakes and significantly extend stopping distances. On the fuel side, E-450 vehicles equipped with a Roush Generation 4 propane conversion kit have a separate concern: a fuel control valve solenoid can short circuit, cutting propane flow to the engine and causing a stall while driving. There is also an equipment recall affecting certain E-450 ambulances upfitted by VCI Emergency Vehicle Specialists, where the backup camera monitor may display a mirror-reversed image, causing the driver to steer the wrong way when reversing around an obstacle.
