• 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.

• Sogefi secondary diesel fuel filter leak investigation # PE24014

  The office of defect investigations (odi) has received 27 complaints alleging diesel fuel leaks due to a fracture in the secondary fuel filter housing in model year (my) 2015-2021 ford motor company (ford) f-250, 350, 450, and 550 super duty vehicles equipped with 6.7l diesel engines. Of these complaints, 12 describe an engine compartment fire. The proximity of the secondary fuel filter to high heat sources creates a potential for autoignition thermal events and fires. Odi has contacted the vehicle manufacturer, ford, and the filter manufacturer, allevard sogefi usa (sogefi), and learned that the low-pressure fuel system is capable of a maximum operating pressure of 8.5 bar, while the secondary fuel filter is only tested to seven (7) bar during the manufacturing process. Additionally, changes starting in 2022 by both ford and sogefi align with a lack of similar complaints on my 2022 and newer vehicles. Odi is opening this preliminary evaluation (pe) to evaluate the severity of the potential problem and to fully assess the potential safety-related problems. To review the odi reports cited in the opening resume odi report identification number document, go to nhtsa.Gov.

• 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.

This vehicle is shuttle bus, transport passengers from chicago o'hare airport to four points hotels and back 24/7. This vehicle is owned by four points hotel at schiller park, il and i work as driver. On october 8 2017 just after 7 pm i was driving the bus with passengers on board from the airport to the hotel when i heard noise from the rear i pulled over and stopped the bus. After checking i saw the rear left wheel is coming off. Almost all the nuts and bolts are gone bolts snapped off while the bus was in motion. The bus was towed to m&m automotive inc.

The truck surges/engine revs. Ford does not know why its happening, multiple parts have been changed. Several ford engineers have been involved with no resolution. The truck has been at the dealer for 7 months, parked for the last 1 month with no activity. I believe it is a safety issue, due to the fact the truck will surge forward on its own. Ford now says it not a warranty issue, but we still are under the 5 yr / 60,000 mile power train warranty. This is a recognized problem for mountain supply and service and we are trying to resolve it before someone gets hurt, and we feel that it is not our responsibility at this point, since we have brought it to ford's attention.

While driving at various speeds receive low fuel pressure / reduced engine power warning. Truck enters "limp home home" almost immediately. Reduced power at highway speed puts driver/passengers in harm as one can't maintain sufficient speed to safely exit the highway. Ford was unable to determine root cause on four occasions. On final occurrence dealer states ford corporate wants to dismantle fuel system to determine if fuel contamination is present. Further states if contamination is found repair and dismantle are outside of warranty and owners responsibility. Issue began with 10k miles on the vehicle final incident occurred at 18k miles. Traded for another brand out of concern for personal safety. Fords lack of concern and blatant attempt to pass the blame to consumers and fuel suppliers has lost them a customer for life.
