The 1980 Ford F-250 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a steering shaft that may not be properly secured to the steering column, which can allow the connection to work loose and cause a loss of steering control.
The other two recalls affect SuperCab models. One involves a missing fuel tank shield that leaves the midship tank exposed during a collision, raising the risk of fuel leakage or fire. The other, also specific to SuperCab trucks built at the Kansas City plant, involves missing exhaust heat shields under the floor that can allow the floor pan to get hot enough to cause the interior floor covering to smolder.
