POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020 Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 vehicles equipped with 6.7L diesel engines. A washer within the vehicle's transmission can disintegrate, causing metallic debris to become lodged in the 'Park' mechanism.
- What it can cause
- Debris lodged within the 'Park' mechanism may prevent the vehicle from achieving or holding 'Park,' increasing the risk of a vehicle rollaway and a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace a gearset within the transmission, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 19, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S22.
- 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 23,165 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 85% 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, 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the power train 83 times before this, most recently in March 2022 as 22V188000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 450 complaints with NHTSA, 79 of them before this campaign was filed. 127 of those name the power train, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2020, 2 years 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), 25V442000 (back over prevention).
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 April 14, 2022 as campaign 22V256000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
