Ford Motor Company has initiated a recall affecting more than 295,000 Super Duty trucks equipped with 6.7L diesel engines from model years 2020 to 2022. The recall addresses a defect in the high-pressure fuel pump that could lead to engine failure and loss of power, increasing the risk of a crash.

The affected models include the 2020-2022 F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600 trucks, as well as the 2021-2022 F-650 and F-750 models. Ford has identified that aged biodiesel deposits can accumulate on internal components of the high-pressure fuel pump, potentially causing it to fail. This failure may result in a sudden loss of motive power, posing a safety hazard to drivers and other road users.
Owners of the impacted vehicles may notice extended crank times during startup, a check engine light, unusual noises, or reduced engine power, which could indicate an impending fuel pump failure. Ford plans to notify owners by mail, advising them to bring their vehicles to a Ford or Lincoln dealer for a Powertrain Control Module software update. This update is designed to enhance pump cooling and prevent the formation of biodiesel deposits. The service will be provided at no cost to the owners.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Dealer notifications are expected to begin on January 2, 2025, with owner notifications following between January 13 and January 17, 2025. Owners seeking more information can contact Ford’s customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
