Steering: Linkages: Tie Rod Assembly Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2015 F-650 and F-750 trucks, equipped with certain Spicer D-Series and E-Series steer axles. The castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, allowing the tie rod to loosen.
Risk: If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a loss of steering control at lower speeds and increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nut and tie rod, tightening it as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin November 20, 2017. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 17S30.
Parking Brake Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 F-650 and F-750 trucks manufactured January 28, 2015, to November 30, 2015. The clip that connects the hand operated parking brake actuator cable to the intermediate parking brake cable may fail.
Risk: If the parking brake cable connector clip fails, the vehicle may unexpectedly roll, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the parking brake cable connector clip, free of charge. The recall began on May 19, 2016. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 16S15.

The affected vehicles have passenger seat belt anchorage floor attachments that are not installed in the correct location. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

The Cummins ISB or ISL engines in these vehicles may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters, part number FF63009, whose filter shell may separate from the fuel filter nut plate causing the engine to stall without warning.
Risk: If the engine stalls unexpectedly there is an increased risk of a crash.

I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW TOW TRUCK IN JULY 2015, EQUIPPED WITH AN ENGINE BRAKE. AFTER USING IT ON MOUNTAINS WITH HIGH % DOWNGRADES, REALIZED THE ENGINE BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING FOR MONTHS, AND THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY HAS BEEN TRYING TO SELL ME THE SISTER TRUCK WITH THAT ENGINE BRAKE NOT WORKING ALSO. NOW, I AM TOLD THAT FORD FORGOT TO HOOK UP THE ENGINE BRAKE, AND THE SISTER TRUCK HAS BEEN SOLD TO AN UNKNOWING TOW TRUCK COMPANY. WITHOUT AN ENGINE BRAKE HOOKED UP THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, THE TRUCK WILL LOSE ITS BRAKES BY GETTING HOT, CATCHING FIRE, AND HAVING A TOTAL FAIL…

To see whether a recall is still open on your car, enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (U.S.) or your registration at check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk (UK). Had a safety problem?
