POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021 F-650 and F-750 vehicles equipped with 7.3L gas engines. The transmission oil cooler line may contact the air conditioning compressor pulley, possibly causing a transmission fluid leak.
- What it can cause
- Leaking transmission fluid may contact hot engine components, increasing the risk of an engine compartment fire.
- What the dealer does
- Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect transmission oil cooler lines for proper orientation and damage, correcting the lines and replacing any that are damaged, free of charge. The recall began December 21, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S66.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 225 vehicles this is a small campaign: 59% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the power train 72 times before this, most recently in September 2020 as 20V599000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 24V957000 (fuel system, diesel), 22V013000 (fuel system, diesel).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on November 10, 2020 as campaign 20V691000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
