Ford F-550 Sd Recalls

The Ford F-550 SD has 43 recalls spanning 2009 through 2026, with the most serious recent issue being a 2025 model year brake booster pushrod that can disconnect from the brake pedal, causing a sudden and complete loss of braking.

On 2022–2026 models, a trailer wiring fault can prevent trailer lights and brakes from functioning, reducing visibility and stopping ability for towed loads. The 2022–2023 model years have a separate concern where front wheel hub extender fasteners may be insufficiently tightened, allowing the wheel and extender to detach while driving. On 2020–2022 models, biodiesel deposits can cause the high-pressure fuel pump to fail and cut drive power; an earlier repair attempt for this issue did not fully resolve it in all cases. The 2020 model year has two transmission-related issues: a torque converter damper plate that can fracture and cause the engine to stall or reduce braking effectiveness, and a washer that can disintegrate inside the transmission and prevent the vehicle from holding Park, risking a rollaway. A 2021 diesel fuel filter cap can develop a pinhole leak that raises fire risk, and 2021–2023 gasoline-engine models have a low-pressure fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine. The 2025–2026 model years also have an instrument panel cluster that can fail at startup, leaving the driver without a speedometer or warning lights; the same issue affects 2023 models with a digital cluster.

The 2022–2023 model years have windshield wiper arms that can break and leave the driver without wipers in poor weather, a problem that also appears on 2020–2022 models. Rearview cameras on 2023–2024 models can freeze or go blank while reversing; similar camera faults affect 2021–2022, 2020, and 2016–2019 models. On 2022 models, a software error can prevent a towed trailer's electric brakes from activating; a prior repair attempt for this issue was also found to be incomplete. The 2020–2021 model years have windshields that may not be properly bonded and can separate in a crash. The 2021 model year has front wheel hub extenders that can separate from the rotor hub, a precursor to the similar 2022–2023 fastener issue.

Going back to the 2017–2019 era, SuperCrew Cab models have a seatbelt pretensioner that can ignite carpet or insulation inside the B-pillar when it fires in a crash. The 2017 model year has a driveline that can fracture at highway speeds and cut power, a fuel conditioning module shield that can fall off and open a drain valve causing a fuel leak, door latches that can freeze or have kinked cables and swing open while driving, a front passenger seat belt anchor weld that can fail in a crash, and a driver's seat back recliner with inadequate welds that may not restrain the occupant in a crash. The 2017–2019 models with engine block heaters that received a prior repair may have a damaged splice connector that can overheat and start a fire. The 2016 model year has a steering wheel clock spring that can accumulate dust and disconnect the driver's airbag. A narrow production window of 2016 trucks received tires with inner sidewall damage that can cause rapid air loss or a blowout. The 2015 model year has a transmission control module that
