2003 FORD F-150 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2003 Ford F-150 has 5 recalls, the most serious including a steering defect where the pitman arm retaining nut may not be fully tightened, causing looseness and noise at the wheel, and a cruise control deactivation switch that can overheat and start an underhood fire. The fuel system also has a concern: corrosion can weaken the straps that hold the fuel tank in place, potentially allowing fuel lines to separate from the tank or the tank itself to drop and contact the ground. Two recalls cover aftermarket headlamp assemblies sold for this truck. One involves headlamps that do not meet federal lighting output standards and can reduce visibility at night. The other covers units missing the amber side reflector, which makes the vehicle harder for other drivers to see from the side.
