Door lock actuators on multiple Super Duty’s from similar years are going bad. From the key fob or inside lock button doors will not lock or unlock. Ford is aware of the issue and doing nothing. This is 100% a safety related issue as you think your doors are locking upon taking off driving with your kids in the back seat and they are not. As well as if there were an accident and emergency exit was needed you cannot unlock your vehicle to recover a child. Not to mention the possibility of theft thinking your doors are locking when leaving the vehicle and they’re actually not. I’ve spent over $1000 dollars to have both passenger door lock actuators replaced. Labor alone is $500 as it’s a pretty intricate job. Ford should absolutely be covering this in an active recall.

Defect investigations
Sogefi Secondary Diesel Fuel Filter Leak
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

Rearview Camera FMVSS 111 Noncompliance
On September 23, 2020, Ford Motor Company (Ford) filed a noncompliance recall report under 49 CFR Part 573 (the federal safety agency Recall No. 20V‑575), recalling 620,246 Model Year (MY) 2020 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, Explorer, Mustang, Transit, Expedition, Escape, Ranger and Edge, and Lincoln Nautilus and Corsair vehicles for a noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 111, Rear Visibility. Ford's recall described the noncompliance as insufficient electrical conductivity within the printed circuit board (PCB) internal to the camera leading to intermittent rearview camera operation. The supplier of the cameras was Magna Electronics.According to Ford's chronology in the Part 573, during the period February-April 2020, Ford identified and monitored warranty claims pertaining to intermittent or inoperative rearview cameras. Ford reviewed supplier product changes, focusing on changes introduced by the supplier in the October-November 2019 time frame. The Part 573 stated that the issue was brought to Ford's Critical Concerns Review Group (CCRG) for review on May 12, 2020.On July 7, 2020, the federal safety agency's Vehicle Research and Testing Center (VRTC) informed the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) of a trend of MY 2020 Escape vehicles with rearview camera malfunctions. ODI contacted Ford the next day, providing five Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) alleging inoperative rearview cameras. On July 15, 2020, Ford met with the federal safety agency to discuss the rearview camera issue. In a subsequent August 24, 2020 meeting, ODI and the federal safety agency's Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance (OVSC) met with Ford to discuss the recall status and additional VOQs. Ford presented rate and scope data for many of its MY 2020 products during the August 2020 meeting indicating high failure rates for certain models.This RQ is being opened to investigate both the timeliness and scope of Ford's rearview camera recall (20V‑575), and Ford's compliance with reporting requirements.The subject reports referenced in the opening resume are identified by the following ODI reference numbers which can be reviewed at 11349813, 11344126, 11342696, 11341486, 11340254, 11337274, 11331444, 11330875, 11329235, 11316960, 11343521, 11341884, 11337226, 11344018, and 11339573.
RQ21002
Power Tailgate Release Systems
In January 2021, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened a Recall Query (RQ21-001) to assess allegations of post-recall remedy uncommanded tailgate openings in model year (MY) 2017-2019 F-250/350/450 Ford trucks. Besides the recall remedy launched in January 2020, Ford also implemented a production update in November 2019. At the time of the RQ opening, ODI had received eleven (11) Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs). ODI sent an Information Request (IR) to Ford in February 2021. In numerous meetings after receiving their IR response, Ford highlighted the drop in claims since the recall and production update and communicated how they were unable to verify the ownersâ complaints or replicate the concern. Despite this, Ford began developing ways to prevent uncommanded tailgate openings from various human, mechanical or electrical causes. Based on testing, Ford issued a Customer Satisfaction program, 21M05-S1/S2/S3, to further address the potential of unintended tailgate openings. This work was applied to vehicles being produced as of December 20, 2021. The program began for already delivered vehicles on July 22, 2022. The covered models include 2017-2022 F-250, 350, 450, 550, 650 and 750 Super Duty and 2020-2022 F-600 Super Duty trucks. ODI has received 39 VOQs between February 24, 2020, and December 15, 2023, alleging uncommanded tailgate openings. In a detailed analysis, none of the vehicles in the VOQs were found to have received the Customer Satisfaction update. Since ODI has not received any complaints of post-Customer Satisfaction program tailgate openings, this office is closing this Recall Query. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the ODI reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to

What 2020 Ford F-250 SD owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I am filing this complaint regarding a catastrophic engine failure in my 2020 Ford F-250. The engine experienced low oil pressure due to a failure involving the camshaft (cam). The failure resulted in damage severe enough that the entire engine had to be replaced. Component or System Failure: The component that failed was the camshaft within the engine. The failure resulted in low oil pressure and subsequent internal engine damage, ultimately requiring complete engine replacement. The failed engine and/or components may be available for inspection upon request, subject to confirmation of their current location and availability. Safety Risk: This failure created a significant safety concern. A sudden loss of engine oil pressure can result in catastrophic engine failure, loss of engine power, and potentially an unexpected vehicle shutdown while driving. Losing engine power while traveling at highway speeds or in traffic could put the driver, passengers, and other motorists at serious risk of an accident. The possibility of sudden engine failure without adequate warning is particularly concerning in a heavy-duty pickup truck that may be used for towing or hauling. Dealer or Independent Service Confirmation: The engine failure was serious enough that the entire engine required replacement. The low oil pressure and resulting engine damage were identified as the cause of the failure. The repair and diagnosis were handled through a ford dealer. Specific diagnostic findings and documentation can be provided if requested. Inspection by Manufacturer or Other Parties: The vehicle was serviced due to the engine failure and underwent evaluation as part of the repair process. Whether the failed components were independently inspected by Ford Motor Company or other parties is UNKNOWN. Warning Lamps, Messages, or Symptoms Prior to Failure: The primary symptom associated with the failure was low oil pressure. No lights were on at the time of service.
The engine started misfiring and running rough while driving down the highway. Without any notice or symptoms, power was lost, and the truck was unable to accelerate. After pulling over and parking, it would not restart. Step one Ford in Crestview Florida diagnosed the engine as having lifter/cam failure. Remedy is engine replacement. This truck has the same engine and failure that the federal safety agency opened an investigation into (NBTSA dp26011) Truck has the 7.3L gas engine.
Mechanical Failure Description: The vehicle suffered a sudden, severe engine knock and rattling under load at approximately 87,594 miles due to a catastrophic valvetrain failure. Dealership diagnostics at Randall Ford confirmed a loss of compression on cylinder 4 and extensive metal shaving contamination throughout the engine oil filter assembly. This severe internal damage resulted from an apparent mechanical failure of the hydraulic lifters and camshaft lobes, requiring a mandatory and complete replacement of the longblock engine assembly. This failure mirrors the exact lubrication and valvetrain degradation mechanisms currently being evaluated under active the federal safety agency Defect Petition DP26011, demonstrating that the structural defect impacts the initial 2020 model year production run of the 7.3L Godzilla platform.

Pulled into my driveway, put vehicle in park and vehicle rolled away. Dealer says transmission needs to be replaced. the federal safety agency bulletin 22s22 is a roll away risk for 2020 F-250 but my VIN is not included in this recall but I fear more vehicles were affected by this then what ford reported
The transmission can remain in 7 gear and not downshift when stopped. The only fix is putting it in park. The transmission also has intermittent rough gear changes and problems downshifting while stopping. Dealership updated the TCM which only made the issue worse. Ford stated that I should go to another dealer to see if they could replicate the issue (local dealer said they couldn’t replicate the problem)

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-250 SD. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a no-start condition and was towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the high-pressure fuel pump had failed and needed to be replaced. However, the contact was informed that the repair was not covered under the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 24V957000 (Fuel System, Diesel); because there were not enough metal shavings found in the fuel system. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact used a vehicle scanner to retrieve DTC: P2291. The contact notified the manufacturer of the failure and was referred to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 134,000.
I was traveling down the highway at approximately 55mph when truck suddenly lost power. I was able to pull over and had the vehicle towed as truck would not start. It was later determined that the cp4 high pressure fuel pump grenaded causing complete fuel system replacement costing over $11,000 in repairs. Shards of aluminium was sent throughout the fuel system.
