  Icon Vehicle Dynamics, LLC (Icon) is recalling all 05-UP FSD 2.5 Centerline Stabilizer Kits with part number 65050. The kits were sold as an accessory for certain 2005-2021 Ford F-250 4X4 and F-350 4X4 pickup trucks. The foam ring inside the stabilizer "through shaft" may block the piston ports, possibly causing the steering to lock up.

  Risk and remedy

  Risk

  If the steering locks, it can increase the risk of a crash.

  Remedy

  Icon will notify owners, and dealers will install a new shock assembly with a revised foam ring and steel support disc, free of charge. The recall began December 21, 2020. Owners may contact Icon customer service at 1-951-689-4266.

  I purchased this truck 3 months ago, and exactly four days from the purchase date the truck has been malfunctioning, I bought a warranty from dealer, but when I took the truck in for service to find out what was happening I was told it was nothing and they took the engine light that was on off. a couple of weeks later the truck started hesitating so I took it in for a service and oil change and had the fuel filter changed to see if that was the issue, it only help for a short period, when I was traveling in alabama, the hose blew off and black smoke can out the back and I barely was able to control the vehicle, several mechanics looked at it and no one could figure out what was going on because no codes showed up. Bought a hose and dealership in alabama put it on, continued my trip, another three days passed by and the truck started to jerk and hesitate when I was on a steep hill, I put it in a lower gear but nothing helped I went to a diesel expert and it took him two day of examining the entire truck to find out it was the fuel system , there was metal shavings in the system and the whole system was breaking down, I just spent 50,000 dollars on this truck and was told this would cost 8500.00 to try to fix, the 6.7 power stroke fuel system IS defective, a ford f 250 should last should not break down like this. Someone IS going to get hurt bad with this truck, dealers are knowing these trucks have problems and are still selling them. They are camouflaging the problem with computer tuning and shutting off the emission system def, these items are being deleted and no one IS telling us consumers until it's too late. I was driving and could have been killed when my truck basically stalled in the middle of the road and started to jerk back and forth

  Front oil cover leakage. There are four trucks with the same problem at the dealer. The front cover bolt loosen themselves and causes a small oil leak that covers the front and bottom of the engine. This leads to multiple parts being replace that do not need replaced. After cleaning the engine and finding the leak, it IS tightening four bolts that only three can be tightened by sight. The fourth bolt cost $4000 to tighten. This seems to be a known F250 issue.

  2014 ford F-250 6.7L lariat super duty - 73,000 miles I purchased it about 55,000 miles. 100% stock, no lift or anything like that. It started a shimmer in the front end of the vehicle when going over small bumps in the road going over 55mph. I now get a tremendous shake, ie probably the "death wobble" and have to slow down to 20mph for it to stop shaking before it takes me off the road. I lose full control until it stops. I rotate my tires with each oil change and always make sure it IS properly aligned. once it happened when hauling my 40FT 5TH wheel but luckily I had a quiet interstate and was able to hold on for dear life until I got it all slowed down, this happened going 65mph driving straight. This has now happened 5 times in the last 9 months / 10,000 miles. Most miles are put on going under 55mph so I'm sure it would happen more if I was driving at higher speeds. this issue IS definitely not normal and needs to be addressed by ford before someone gets hurt.

  I bought this vehicle in dec. 2017 with 17,000 miles on it, and it now has 30,000 miles on it. On feb 11,12 while driving in akron ohio at around 65 mph I hit a bump and the front end started shaking so fiercely I could hardly control the truck. My wife was with me and was terrified. If she was driving it she would have never been able to control it and would probably been involved in a horrible and most likely a fatal accident. My problem IS that I'm finding out that this has been a problem for a while now and ford isn't doing anything about or as my dealership service department said when I dropped it of this morning, doesn't think it's a safety issue. This truck has done this numerous times in the 13,000 miles since I've owned it. I've had it looked at each and the place I took it to can't find anything loose, however the one time they replace the steering damper and that seemed to help for a little while. Something needs to be done, this cannot simply be a tire inflation issue which by the way I'm pretty religious about checking on a regular basis. thank you [xxx] ('parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6).'*jb

  Violent steering wheel wobble and cab vibration when hitting uneven surface driving at highway speeds (55-70mph.) when the wobble occurs, it IS impossible to steer and the only remedy IS to slow as quickly as possible to around 40mph for the wobble to go away and regain control. the mileage when it started was approximately 40K and has progressively gotten worse. now with 67K I have actually been forced off the road as I couldn't steer it away from the median. as soon as my speed dipped to approximately 40mph I regained control and was able to get back onto the freeway and proceed to the next exit for inspection. initial diagnosis IS bad ball joints on both front end sides. be prepared to slow to 40mph quickly on a busy freeway if this ever occurs to you.

  My truck at around 15000 miles had some wobble after hitting bumps on highway. I took it in for its 25000 mile check up and stated this as well as poor economy or 1 or so. They said nothing was wrong... Well at 27000 miles it was shaking so violent I demanded it be brought in for service it was going to kill someone! Groove ford looked it over (who bought it from) and said the entire front end was worn out and was not covered because now it was 40 day past the 3 year. Even thought they told me to wait, and it was 9000miles under the millage!! I finally got ford to pay for 2000 and the groove ford paid nothing I paid 700. They very day I got it back I was then hearing a noise turning sharply left on steering wheel rotation. I was told that another $700 and nothing to do with what they did. They sold me a after market warranty that they never intended to honor and did not cover my problems. Which should be fraud. Every ones always gone or on vacation. Still no refund on it and now I look to trade in the problem.

  Currently my F250 6.7L diesel engine has a cel code of p20ba (reductant heater). During an extensive search on this part, it was discovered that the reductant heater was built by bosch and similar variants were installed in VW, gm, benz, and other diesel manufactures. Volks wagon has already increased the warranty of this part as it IS prone to failure. Ford has yet to make a stb or a recall notice to service and repair this vital emissions component. While searching several 6.7L ford truck forums, I learned that this IS a reoccurring issue in many 6.7 trucks. It seems odd that a truck with 70K miles that IS not used for commercially purposes, has failed within the first 3 years of the vehicles life. Nationally this repair, if done by a ford dealer, IS approximately $750. The cost of deleting the def system, though a federal crime, IS $1,200 dollars. If the cost to remove equipment that IS prone to failure, can increase the life of the engine, and costs slightly more than more , individuals will begin eliminating their def systems. A recall and replacement of these heaters would serve and benefit the diesel community.

  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 Ford's 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.

• 102377892011-2023 F-Super Duty and 2016-2024 F-650/F-750 vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine may exhibit an elevated idle condition. During prolonged idle time, vehicles may experience this elevated idle to reduce unburned hydrocarbons from the SCR. The powertrain control module estimates hydrocarbon levels in the SCR and may increase idle speed to remove them. Idle speed will be increased to 1000 RPM for ambient temperatures near 26C (80F) and may increase to 1200 RPM at -40 C (-40F). Vehicles may exhibit exhaust smoke and diesel exhaust fluid smell during elevated idle condition. Exhaust smoke and smell condition will not affect reliability or durability of the engine.

• 10235153For 2000-2024 Ford and Lincoln vehicles, swapping a module from a vehicle for diagnosis purposes is likely to cause errors and is not recommended. It is also not recommended to order a replacement module using a vehicle identification number (VIN) from a different vehicle. Most modules on these affected vehicles are VIN/vehicle specific and hardware variations between modules do exist. Swapping a module from a vehicle or ordering a module using a different vehicle/VIN can cause ineffective repairs and additional vehicle down time. Make sure all appropriate Workshop Manual (WSM) procedures are followed when diagnosing the condition prior to all module replacements and only order modules using the correct VIN.
• 10228867Some 2011-2022 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L diesel engine may exhibit a ticking noise at idle after an engine oil change. It is often referred to as Typewriter Noise because of its similarity to the sound of a mechanical typewriter. When engine temperatures reach 150 F (65 C) or higher, (from engine idle up to approximately 1700 RPM's), this noise can typically be heard at the front wheel well and is often isolated to the transmission bell housing or oil pan area. Typewriter Noise is not detrimental to engine function or durability and has no short or long term effects on the engine. Do not attempt repairs to eliminate this noise. This noise is characteristic of the 6.7L diesel engine and will typically cease or diminish significantly within the oil change maintenance interval.
• 10212957Some 2013-2023 Ford or Lincoln vehicles with modems activated through FordPass or LincolnWay may experience 12 volt battery drain symptoms when the customer uses non-Ford/Lincoln phone applications as an alternate channel to access vehicle commands such as door lock/unlock, remote start, vehicle location, etc. The battery drain may be caused by excessive calls for data through the vehicle network keeping it in an activated state. Recommend that the customer uninstall the app to ensure this is not contributing to battery symptoms experienced. Advise the customer that unaffiliated third-party app developers do not work directly with Ford to adhere to security, vehicle communication, and privacy requirements.

• 10164508Some 2010-2020 vehicles may exhibit distorted glass with a subtle orange peel pattern or streaking etched into the surface. This is caused by hydrofluoric acid which is used in some car wash solutions as a cleaning agent. Hydrofluoric acid can attack the glass and cause visual distortion and/or discoloration on the outer surface which cannot be removed by further cleaning. If this type of distortion is found, inspect the area of the glass that is covered by the cowl and/or molding. The portion of glass that is covered by the cowl or molding will not be affected by the acid. Hydrofluoric acid damage is not a defect in material or workmanship and is not a warrantable condition.
• 10164497For Ford and Lincoln vehicles that require positive or negative battery terminal replacement, it is not necessary to replace the complete battery cable harness (14300 and 14301) for this concern. Positive battery cable clamp BT4Z-14450-AA and negative battery cable clamp BT4Z-14450-BA are available for this type of repair. Do not cut or shorten the battery cable, instead carefully remove the affected battery cable clamp and clean the cable end as necessary to preserve wire length. Some rework may be necessary for some vehicle environments. Bend the new positive battery cable clamp as needed and crimp it to the existing battery cable. Make sure to use heat shrink tubing over the battery cable to battery cable clamp connection. Obtain the heat shrink tube locally.
• 10162082Some 2011-2019 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine may come in for scheduled maintenance on the engine mounted fuel filter. When reconnecting a fuel line quick connect fitting back onto the engine mounted fuel filter housing, push the connector all the way onto the fuel filter connection port. For some vehicles, you may need to depress a retainer clip to lock the quick connect port into place. Once the fitting is latched fully onto the connection port, pull straight backward on the fuel line to verify it is fully latched onto the connection port. Do not bend the fuel line connection when pulling to verify it is connected. Refer to Workshop Manual sections 310-00 for details on quick connect fittings.
• 10160931On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission it is imperative that the converter pilot hub be greased with Motorcraft Multi-Purpose Grease Spray XL-5-A even if grease was not applied from the factory. Also verify that the engine/transmission alignment dowel pins are present as well as the engine crankshaft dowel pin, if equipped, when installing the transmission. Failure to adequately lubricate the converter hub greatly increases the likelihood of the flexplate cracking in the future. Missing dowels may cause a misalignment issue also resulting in a premature failure. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 307-01.
