- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025 Super Duty F-250, F-350, and F-450 vehicles. The steering column shifter may have been improperly welded and detach from the steering column.
- What it can cause
- A detached shifter will prevent the driver from shifting into park, which can result in a vehicle rollaway and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the steering column serial numbers and replace the steering column as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 28, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S20.
- 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 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 11,621 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 80% 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, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the power train 112 times before this, most recently in February 2025 as 25V133000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 29 complaints with NHTSA. 5 of those name the power train, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V489000 (back over prevention), 26V119000 (power train), 26V104000 (electrical system), 25V540000 (electrical system).
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 March 14, 2025 as campaign 25V163000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
