2005 Ford F-650 SD & 2005 Ford F750 recall: wheels
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain cab chassis vehicles equipped with accuride aluminum wheels, the wheels were not properly pre-stressed. This allows cracks to develop over time.
💥 The risk
This may eventually lead to wheel failure and possibly result in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the wheels free of charge. The recall began on may 17, 2005. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
