In a june 7, 2005 letter, ford notified odi that it would be conducting a safety recall of approximately 180,000 ford f-super duty, excursion and e-series vehicles equipped with 6.0l diesel engines to correct two wiring related conditions that could result in engine stall (the federal safety agency recall no. 05v‑270, ford no. 05s34).the affected vehicles were built between september 29, 2003 and may 31, 2004.according to ford, vehicles with the conditions may stall without warning and may or may not restart.ford will instruct owners of vehicles included in the recall to take their vehicles to a dealer to have the fuel injector control module wire harness upgraded or replaced and or have a new injection control pressure sensor connector installed.during a may 2005 presentation to odi, ford identified a number of potential failure mechanisms that could affect engine performance in various segments of the subject vehicle population, including the wiring conditions addressed by 05v‑270.the wiring conditions, which both affect engine fueling, were the most likely conditions to result in engine stall.the recalled vehicles comprise approximately 43% of the subject vehicle population and account for 75 of the 113 odi reports that have a valid VIN (66%).the voq complaint rate for the recall population is 45/100k while the rate for vehicles outside the recall population is 17/100k and their trend (by date of receipt) is declining.based on the analysis, odi believes ford?s actions are sufficient to address the current safety risks and the investigation is thus closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that a safety related defect does not exist.further action will be taken if warranted by future circumstances.

2004 f350 superduty 6.0 diesel 110025 miles on truck. The vehicle will some time sputter one to three times and the engine shuts off sometime starting, sometimes failing to start. While driving at times the engine will just shut off sometimes will restart sometimes it will not. I have had it in to a dealership shop to be fixed and they can not at this time find an answer. I feel this might be similar to a recall notice for other truck of this sort, but my vehicle VIN number does not follow under this according to the dealership. The federal safety agency campaign number that has similar problem is 05v270000. There has not been any injuries or damage yet, but a vehicle that just shuts off when driving does not feel safe to me. I have only owed it since 6 aug 10 and no problem of this sort has been documented as reported on this vehicle. This vehicle has acted up ever day except one day from the period of 6 aug10 to 12 aug 10.
