The 2023 Ford F-600 SD has 5 recalls, the most serious involving front wheel hub extender fasteners that may not be properly tightened, allowing the wheel and extender to detach from the vehicle while driving.
On the safety equipment side, the driver's airbag clockspring may have a weak weld that breaks the electrical connection, leaving the airbag unable to deploy in a crash. There are also two visibility concerns: the windshield wiper arms can break and leave the wipers inoperable in wet conditions, and a software issue can cause the rearview camera image to freeze or go missing when backing up. Rounding out the list, a trailer lighting fault can cause trailer lights and brakes to stop working, reducing the trailer's visibility to other drivers and the driver's ability to slow it.
