Ford F-250 Super Duty Recalls

The Ford F-250 Super Duty has 13 recalls spanning 2004 through 2025, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2025 models where the shifter can detach from the steering column, preventing the driver from selecting park and allowing the truck to roll away if the parking brake is not set.

The 2025 model year has a second powertrain concern: the rear driveshaft can separate at a weld, cutting power to the wheels while driving. The 2023 model year has a left-rear axle shaft that can fracture on single rear wheel trucks with a 10.5-inch rear axle, which can also cause a sudden loss of drive power or allow the truck to roll if left without the parking brake engaged. Two other 2023 recalls involve camera and window systems where earlier dealer repairs did not fully resolve the original problems: the rearview camera can display the wrong image while reversing, and the power windows can fail to detect an obstruction and reverse when closing.

The 2020 model year has two issues. The windshield may not be properly bonded and can separate from the body in a crash, and the wiper arms can slip on their mounts and fail to clear the glass properly, reducing visibility in rain.

Going back to 2019, certain trucks have a rearview camera electrical fault that causes the image to appear distorted or go blank while backing up. The 2016 model year has a clockspring wiring fault in the steering wheel that can disconnect the driver's front airbag, leaving it unable to deploy in a crash; the horn and steering-wheel controls may also stop working.

The 2008 model year, on trucks with the 6.4L diesel engine, has a diesel particulate filter that can overheat and produce visible flames out of the tailpipe, creating a fire risk near combustible materials. On 2004 models, trucks with the 6.0L diesel have a fuel system wiring harness that can chafe against an engine bolt, and a pressure sensor connector that can lose its signal, affecting engine operation. A separate 2004 issue covers King Ranch and Lariat 4x4 single rear wheel trucks where one or more tires may carry an incorrect load rating, risking tire overload.
