Ford owners will receive letters in phases, beginning January 2026 and June 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S89.

Recall 15V-175: Power Train

Reported Mar 25, 2015 · 6,322 vehicles affected · Ford Motor Company

The affected vehicles may detect an incorrect Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (EGT) fault indicating that the vehicle is too hot, causing the engine management system to shut down the engine and prevent its immediate restart.

Risk: Engine shut down and a subsequent cool down period may delay medical treatment or assistance to those needing it, increasing their risk of injury.

Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software, free of charge. The recall began on April 22, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15S09.

Recall 14V-204: Power Train

Reported Apr 17, 2014 · 3,973 vehicles affected · Ford Motor Company

An error with the transmission control software may be such that while shifting from "Park" to "Drive" the vehicle may display "Drive" but possibly engage "Reverse" for 1.5 seconds before engaging "Drive." Therefore, the vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect."

Risk: If the vehicle is in "Reverse" while the while the gear selection shows "Drive," unexpected movement could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

Tires · reported Nov 9, 2026
Tire Size: LT275/65R20 In XXX, I invested $1,805 to purchase and install a brand-new set of four Toyo Open Country H/T II tires (Size: LT275/65R20) on my 2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty Lariat. The tires were installed at an odometer reading of 120,266 miles. The rear tires have failed prematurely at our current mileage of 143,725 miles. I personally performed regular tire rotations approximately every 6,000 miles to ensure optimal wear. A physical inspection by several tire shops reveals an undeniable structural anomaly that rotation intervals could not cause: both front tires are evenly worn at…
