2017 Ford F-450 Recalls & Complaints

The 2017 Ford F-450 has 4 recalls, the most serious being a door latch that can open during a side impact collision, raising the risk of occupant ejection or injury — this affects vehicles where a chrome door handle cover accessory kit was installed after purchase. There is also a fire risk on trucks equipped with an engine block heater: water and corrosion can damage the heater cable's splice connector, and when the heater is plugged in, the resulting electrical resistance can overheat or melt the wiring. Two recalls apply specifically to F-450 ambulance conversions: on certain units, brake lights can illuminate without the pedal being pressed, which can confuse following drivers, and on others, a backup camera monitor can display a mirrored image that causes the driver to steer the wrong direction while reversing.
