FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021 Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, F-600, and Medium Duty F-650 and F-750 vehicles equipped with 6.7L diesel engines. A small void may be present in the top-center of the vehicle's underhood secondary fuel filter cap, which may progress to a pinhole over time, allowing fuel to leak from the top of the secondary fuel filter.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the primary and secondary fuel filters, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 28, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S01.
- 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.nhtsa.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 19,697 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 84% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel 3 times before this, most recently in October 2016 as 16V778000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 4 of the 7 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 287 complaints with NHTSA, 25 of them before this campaign was filed. 57 of those name the fuel system, diesel, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2021, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V158000 (fuel system, diesel), 25V686000 (back over prevention), 25V626000 (steering), 25V455000 (fuel system, gasoline).
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 January 14, 2022 as campaign 22V013000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
