FORD F-750 SD Recalls

The Ford F-750 SD has 6 recalls spanning 2008 through 2018, with the most serious being a 2015 model year tie rod defect where a loose castellated nut can allow the tie rod to separate from the steering knuckle, causing a sudden loss of steering control. The 2018 model year has brake hose coupling fittings that can corrode and leak brake fluid, reducing stopping ability. On 2016 vehicles equipped with rear air suspension, the rear brake hoses can chafe against the axle housing while driving, causing an air leak that weakens rear braking. The 2015 model year also has a fuel system issue where the engine can stall unexpectedly, raising crash risk, and a parking brake cable connector clip that can fail and allow the vehicle to roll when parked. That parking brake clip issue extends into early 2016 production as well. Going back to 2008-2009 models equipped with the Caterpillar C7 engine, fuel lines at cylinders five and six can crack where they attach to the common fuel rail, leaking fuel that can ignite and start an engine fire.
