4 recalls across 4 model years
The Ford E450 has 4 recalls spanning 2005 through 2026, with the most serious affecting 2021 models where a rear wire harness can chafe against the vehicle frame, causing the engine to stall without warning and disabling both anti-lock brakes and roll stability control.
The 2024 model year has a transmission defect, limited to vehicles with the 6-speed automatic, where the park pawl can fail to engage when the shifter is moved to Park, allowing the vehicle to roll away if the parking brake is not set. On 2026 incomplete vehicles, the electrical connector for the backup alarm can work loose and disconnect, leaving the vehicle silent when reversing and removing the audible warning that others nearby depend on. Going back to the earliest production covered here, certain 2005 cut-away incomplete vehicles have an incorrect rear tire pressure listed on the compliance label.
