• Recall 2019420 [Canada]: Other
  Issue: this recall is for aftermarket replacement rear window glass produced by vitro automotriz. Certain rear window glass may not have been properly tempered. If the window breaks, the glass may separate into large pieces instead of very small ones. Note: this is a voluntary recall that is not being conducted under the requirements of the motor vehicle safety act. Safety risk: glass that breaks in to large pieces could create a risk of injury. Corrective actions: the company will notify consumers by mail and instruct them to inspect the designation code marked on the rear window glass. Products affected by this recall have the designation “dot 287” along with the lettering “vmr” (replacement market) and a date code that is before july 2019. This information is printed on the bottom corner of the glass. Consumers should contact vitro's customer service at 1-412-995-6457 or [email protected] to arrange for replacement of the glass.

• Recall 2015125 [Canada]: Engine
  Certain ambulance or fire package vehicles with 6.7l diesel engines may experience a "stop safety now" warning message and 5 audible chimes if an exhaust gas temperature (egt) sensor fault is detected. Engine torque would be gradually reduced by 70 percent over a period of 45 seconds to a power-reduced level that is maintained. During this time, there would be no effect on steering, braking, lighting, electrical, or restraint systems, allowing the operator to maneuver the vehicle to a safe location. Such an occurrence could also result in an engine shut down and subsequent inability to quickly restart the vehicle. If this condition were to occur when an ambulance or fire engine vehicle was transporting a patient or providing medical assistance, it could delay medical treatment and increase the risk of injury to the patient. Correction: dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module with updated software.

• Recall 2014103 [Canada]: Airbag
  Certain vehicles may not comply with canada motor vehicle safety standard 208 - occupant protection in frontal impacts. Prescribed text may have been omitted from the airbag warning label in the french language only. As a result, the french-language warning label is more restrictive than the english. Correction: no corrective recall action is required as this technical non-compliance is deemed to be non-safety related.

• Vehicle commanded engine shutdown investigation # RQ14005

  The office of defects investigation (odi) opened this rq to investigate allegations that the scope and remedy of safety recall 13v-535 were inadequate. Recall 13v-535 was limited to a relatively small population of "ambulance package" vehicles and odi received complaints of pickup trucks and "fire engine prep package" vehicles being affected by the same defect. Ford manufactured approximately 555,985 subject vehicles between february 22, 2010 and january 30, 2015 that may be affected by defective egt sensors and powertrain control module (pcm) software calibration. The subject vehicles are equipped with four (4) egt sensors to monitor engine operating conditions. An egt sensor fault may produce false exhaust over-temperature signals. If these signals are produced, the powertrain control module (pcm) implements a failure management effects mode (fmem) and the driver receives a "stop safely now" (ssn) system warning on the instrument cluster message center. The fmem triggers a 70% reduction in available engine power over a period of no more than 45 seconds, during which it may not be possible to accelerate or maintain vehicle speed. The pcm then commands the engine to shut down when vehicle speed reaches approximately 1 mph. There is no immediate restart capability. Depending on the pcm software calibration, ignition key position and ambient temperature conditions, the engine may not restart until the end of a 10-60 minute "cool down" period.Ford and its component supplier(s) made numerous changes to the pcm software calibration and the design, material and manufacture of the egt sensors over the period of subject vehicle production. This continuous product improvement affected vehicle performance regarding the alleged defect. Ford acknowledges the defect condition in the subject vehicles but argues that an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety is limited to "ambulance package" and "fire engine prep package" vehicles where commanded shutdown could impact emergency response and patient care. Ford also argues that the defect trend is in decline. Ford also initiated a new safety recall (15v-175) to address the 13v-535 remedy concerns in the "ambulance package" vehicles and "fire engine prep package" vehicles. The 15v-175 remedy reprograms the pcm with a new software calibration that stops a single egt sensor fault to cause the vehicle to enter the fmem shutdown mode.Ford also initiated an epa emissions recall (14e03) for all subject vehicles that reprograms the pcm with the software calibration employed in safety recall 15v-175. Finally, ford initiated a customer satisfaction program (15m01) providing extended warranty coverage of 8 years or 80,000 miles for the the egt sensors on certain my2011-2012 subject vehicles.Due to the epa emissions recall, that had a 66.6% completion rate in fords december 2015 progress report to the epa, the defect trend is in decline. Odi is not aware of any crashes, deaths or injuries related to the alleged defect.Odi believes the alleged defect poses a safety risk but notes that the epa emissions recall is addressing the safety problem.Compelling issuance of a duplicate recall would not represent a wise use of agency resources.Accordingly, this recall query is closed.This action is not a finding that no defect exists and nhtsa will take further action if such action is warranted.

The egr system has caused the truck's transmission to go into idle mode which is 2 miles an hour. Safely it can not be driven to be serviced if you are on the road. This system has reset its self on 3 occasions, once when i was taking the truck into a ford service dealership. They stated they could not do anything without the trouble senor on. There is one recall on the nox sensor and 3 other service alerts for the egr on the trucks. This is very dangerous and should be put in your system.

The contact owns a 2013 ford f-350. The contact stated that the taillights were starting to crack between the taillights and the tailgate on both sides. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the vin was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.

While driving in excess of 55 mph on all road surfaces the front end will randomly go into a violent front end wobble. The vehicle shakes violently as to throw heavy items from the door pockets and prevent steering the vehicle. We have replaced a suspected steering components with no remedy. We understand that a similar issue with this vehicle occurred in a later model truck and has been recalled. Our mechanic has nicknamed this wobble a death wobble.

Truck violently shook after going over bump in the road going about 40mph on city street to where i almost lost control of my truck. Had no control of the shake and when applied brakes the truck kept shaking until i could come to a complete stop. Contacted repair shop and they informed me that the condition is referred to as the 'death wobble'. Ford knows of the issue but has not done anything to remedy this issue. Parts affected and were replaced are track bar assembly and passenger side ball joint

Within the last few months the truck has experience the "death wobble". At first it started at normal michigan highway speeds, but it has become more frequent and more repeatable, and occurring a lower speeds. Essentially if you hit a typical highway bump the vehicle will begin to shake completely out of control force you to rapidly decelerate or brake quickly on a highway until it stops. This truck has a stock suspension and about 150k miles. We have taken it to a suspension shop they cannot identify any failed components.

The truck develops a severe shake/wobble in front end when driving at highway speeds and hits a bump in the road. The truck is hard to control and has to be slowed considerably before it stops the wobble and can be controlled.
