2005 Ford F-250 SD & 2005 Ford F-350 SD + 2 more recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain pickup trucks and chassis cab vehicles equipped with 5.4L or 6.8L gasoline engines, the fuel jumper line may have an incorrect end form.
💥 The risk
The fuel line may separate at the connection to the main fuel bundle. If the fuel line separates, an operator may notice a gasoline odor and/or fuel on the ground, loss of power, and the engine will eventually stall. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install an external retention clip at the fuel jumper line to the main fuel bundle connection. The recall began on june 20, 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.)
