• Recall 2014103 [Canada]: Airbag
  Certain vehicles may not comply with canada motor vehicle safety standard 208 - occupant protection in frontal impacts.

• Recall 2011251 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
  On certain 2011 ranger vehicles, the multi-function switch, installed during vehicle assembly, could malfunction and fail. Additionally, other vehicle models may have received the affected switch as a replacement part during service, and are therefore also involved in this campaign. Failure of the multi-function switch could result in a loss of turn signal, tail lamp, hazard warning signal flasher and/or stop lamp function. Failure of these lighting components to illuminate may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, as well as reducing vehicle conspicuity during hours of darkness, which could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the multi-function switch.

• Violent front end oscillation investigation # EA08007

  This investigation was opened based on 78 consumer complaints of severe suspension and steering wheel oscillations after the subject vehicles traveled over an uneven surface.Odi was concerned about these complaints because many of them alleged loss of control and the loss of control occurredat speeds above 50 miles per hour.At the time these complaints were received, odi was also aware of the tsb 07-10-10 and early warning field reports that discussed the shimmy condition on the subject vehicles.Since opening this investigation, odi has confirmed, based on consumer complaints, warranty data, testing conducted by vrtc, and odi inspection of complaint vehicles, that the owners of the subject vehicles are experiencing shimmy events on their vehicles.However, odi has also confirmed that owners typically do not maintain their tires at the pressures recommended by ford on the tire label.Further, odi has found that in order for shimmy to occur, tire pressures must be substantially below (at least 20%) those specified on the vehicle tire label.Odi considers these unsafe tire conditions to be the result of one of three typical situations.The tires are being improperly maintained, the owners are intentionally setting the tire pressures low to enhance ride quality, or aftermarket tires (not designed for use on the vehicle) are installed to change the appearance or function of the vehicle.The subject vehicles are intended and designed to be used as heavy duty vehicles and as such require that the tires be capable of handling the loads for which the vehicle is designed and marketed.In order for the tires to be capable of handling these loads, the proper tire pressure must be maintained.In light of the information gathered in this investigation and fords agreement to notify subject vehicle owners (now and every two years until the vehicles reach ten years from their production date) about the importance of maintaining proper tire pressures on their vehicles, further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.For additional information, see the attached closing report.

My truck experiences what i have learned is called the death wobble. The condition occurs intermittently but usually at speeds above 50mph and seems to be initiated by hitting any small bump. The whole front end shakes violently like the tires have been half filled with lead causing them to rotate wildly out of round. The truck actually bounces up and down rapidly and the steering wheel shakes violently creating a very unsafe driving circumstance. My research into this issue uncovered that this is a well-known condition that has been reported multiple times by many different ford truck owners and that it occurs on ford trucks of various year make and model. I also am aware of fords service letter 09l02 advising owners to maintain proper air pressure to combat the issue. It is my opinion that fords efforts to address this issue are woefully inadequate and the nhtsa has allowed this manufacturer to produce and provide an unsafe vehicle to the public for way to long. This is a hazardous condition that needs to be properly addressed.

On 2/28/21 and 3/6/21 while driving at highway speed, i experienced two separate violent shaking events of the front suspension and steering. Both events occured at approximately 70mph upon crossing pavement joints. The shaking is so violent you lose the ability to control the vehicle and just hope it doesn't cause a wreck. The shaking will not stop until speed is reduced to approximately 20mph, which in itself is dangerous on an interstate highway. A passenger in my truck during first incident said he thought i had hit a load of pipes in the road. During the second event, nearby motorists looked at me like my truck was falling apart. I am very upset that ford and nhtsa have not issued a recall. This problem started when vehicle was brand new. First dealer told me there was nothing they could do. A second dealer tightened various fasteners on front suspension and made steering box very tight. I was also given new alignment specs (which i gave to tire installer), and advised inflating tires to much higher pressure than truck was delivered new with. It is unworkable because it results in brutal ride if truck is operated without payload. I believe these events are caused by undamped resonance in the front suspension. It feels like the wheels are alternately pounding up and down, left and right side. The steering wheel oscillates so hard you can't hold on.

My 2016 f350 super duty 4wd disesal has a death wobble with only 46,ooo miles. The dealership at seminole ford, seminole oklahoma 405-382-2222 told me i would have to pay 1200 to fix this. I was driving 70mph on the highway yesterday and my vehicle went out of control almost causing me to wreck. I immediately scheduled an appointment with the dealership. I will forward the bill when i receive it. This is a safety hazard and a factory defect that i should not be responsible for, i had the vehicle at the dealership one month ago and had to pay for a new def heater at the tune almost $1,000. At that time they did their multi-point inspection which shows that the parts that failed were all fine. Please help me as ford is trying to screw me over on a 70k truck with minimal miles. This should be a recall issue that ford should pay for not the consumer.

Driving east on interstate i10 east of benson, az at around 75mph, hit a rough patch of road and the vehicle went wild, shaking, vibrating, loss of control. I hit the brakes and went across 3 lanes of traffic into the medium, where i skidded to a stop. I see from the internet this is called the f350 death wobble! The ford f350 and all related vehicles need to be taken off the roads, they are a potential death trap. I could have been killed or seriously injured in this accident or even worse some innocent family could have been killed in a head on accident! My ford f350 vehicle has around 60,000 miles, superduty, 4x4. It is in excellent condition with a cab over camper.
