This page covers 6 recalls and 12 owner complaints for the 2025 Ford F-350 Sd.
Complaints on the 2025 F-350 SD are spread thin across a small number of reports, with no single system drawing a heavy concentration of issues. The powertrain, electrical system, and engine cooling categories each account for a couple of reports. Owners describe a diesel exhaust fluid gauge giving inaccurate or inoperable readings, a backup camera freezing and losing its feed during reversing, a passenger-side wiper arm failing to operate, and a turn signal chime that owners say is too quiet to hear at highway speeds. A single report describes airbags not deploying in a frontal collision, though with only one mention it stands apart from the recurring themes above. The most consistent thread across multiple reports is electrical and display-related behavior, sensors and screens not functioning as expected during routine use.

By System
The 2025 Ford F-350 SD has 6 recalls, the most serious involving a driveshaft that can suddenly separate and cut drive power, a brake booster pushrod that can disconnect from the brake pedal causing total brake failure, a steering column shifter that can detach and prevent the driver from selecting park, and a cracked diesel fuel return line connector that can leak fuel onto hot engine components and start a fire.
On the electrical side, the instrument panel cluster can fail at startup, leaving the driver without warning lights or a speedometer. There is also a trailer lighting recall: a wiring fault can cause trailer lights and trailer brakes to stop working, reducing the trailer's visibility to other drivers and making it harder to control.
