Recall Overview
Ford has issued a safety recall affecting certain 2025 model year F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks due to a potential steering defect that could increase the risk of a crash. The recall impacts approximately 2,700 vehicles in the United States.
According to recall documentation, the issue involves steering tie-rod ends that may fracture during operation. If a tie-rod end fails, it could result in a loss of steering control due to front axle steering disconnection, creating a serious safety concern for drivers and others on the road.
What Is the Problem?
The affected vehicles may have been equipped with steering tie-rod assemblies produced during a specific manufacturing period that could be prone to failure. A fractured tie-rod can prevent the driver from maintaining directional control of the vehicle, significantly increasing the likelihood of a crash.
Because the defect may occur without prior warning, Ford has instructed dealers to inspect the steering tie-rod assembly before demonstrating or delivering any affected vehicles. If the component does not pass inspection, the vehicle cannot be delivered until final repair instructions and replacement parts become available.
What Ford Is Doing
Ford dealers will inspect the steering tie-rod assembly at no cost to owners. Vehicles that pass inspection can be returned to service, while those that fail inspection will receive repairs once replacement parts become available.
Owner notification letters were scheduled to begin mailing in August 2024, and dealers have been instructed to prioritize repairs for customer vehicles as parts and repair procedures become available.
What Owners Should Do
Owners of affected 2025 Ford F-650 and F-750 trucks should contact their dealer to schedule an inspection as soon as possible. Drivers experiencing steering concerns should avoid operating the vehicle until it has been inspected and cleared by a dealer.
How Ford Owners Can Take Back Control
While this recall has been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.
