The 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty has 4 recalls, the most serious involving two drivetrain defects on trucks with the 6.7L diesel engine that can allow the vehicle to roll away while parked or cause sudden loss of drive power. On trucks with a single rear wheel, the rear axle tube can deform at the spring seat, allowing the driveshaft to detach and cut power to the wheels entirely. On diesel-equipped trucks more broadly, a broken transmission washer can shed metal particles that prevent the park pawl from holding the transmission in place, letting the truck roll freely if the parking brake is not set. On the electronics side, trucks with the optional 360-degree camera system can have a software issue that causes the rearview image to display incorrectly when backing up, reducing rear visibility. There is also a label error on certain configurations where the listed payload and accessory reserve capacity figures are higher than they should be, which can lead to overloading and result in poor handling or a tire failure.

What can fail
A washer in the transmission can break, releasing metal particles that damage the park pawl mechanism. This may allow the truck to roll when the transmission is in Park if the parking brake is not engaged.

Dealers will replace the gearset in the transmission to restore proper park pawl function.

What can fail
The rear axle tube may deform where the springs attach, causing the driveshaft to disconnect from the axle. This cuts power to the wheels and can allow the truck to move even when parked in gear.
What the fix does
A dealer will inspect your rear axle. If deformed, the housing is replaced. If not deformed, the spring seat attachments are repaired.
