This page covers 17 recalls and 100 owner complaints for the 2022 Ford F-350 Sd.
Electrical system complaints make up the largest share of what 2022 F-350 owners report, with many describing a charging system fault that triggers a cascade of issues, forward camera unavailability, collision avoidance dropping offline, the radio rebooting, and in several cases the entire instrument cluster going dark for anywhere from a few seconds to around half a minute before recovering. Steering complaints are the second-most reported area, though the narratives cover a range of behaviors rather than a single consistent symptom. A smaller cluster of powertrain complaints describes loss of power during acceleration from a stop, sometimes without any warning light, along with at least one account of severe transmission slipping and delayed engagement following flat towing. A handful of owners also describe traction control behavior during low-traction situations where throttle response, both opening and closing, feels heavily dampened.

By System
The 2022 Ford F-350 SD has 17 recalls, the most serious involving a high-pressure diesel fuel pump that can fail and cut drive power, a front wheel that can detach entirely, and a driver-side airbag cover that can shatter and send fragments toward occupants in a crash.
Several recalls affect fuel delivery: biodiesel deposits can cause the high-pressure diesel fuel pump to fail (one recall covers trucks where a prior repair did not fully resolve this), and the low-pressure gasoline fuel pump can stall the engine while driving. On gasoline-engine trucks with aluminum driveshafts, loose underbody heat shields can contact and fracture the driveshaft, causing loss of drive power or vehicle control. Trailer handling is also a concern: a software error can prevent electric trailer brakes from working, and a separate recall covers trucks where an earlier fix did not fully correct that problem; the trailer lighting connector can also fail, leaving a towed trailer without working lights or brakes. Visibility problems round out the list: wiper arms can break, the moonroof wind deflector can detach and become a road hazard, and both the 360-degree and standard rearview cameras can display blank or distorted images. Side impact sensors damaged during assembly may fail to deploy side airbags in a crash. There are also lower-severity recalls covering missing tire information labels and an owner's manual that lacks head restraint adjustment instructions.
