2008 Ford F-650 SD & 2008 Ford F-750 SD recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks equipped with caterpillar C7 or C9 diesel engines, a fuel pump failure will dilute the engine oil with fuel and may cause the turbocharger to fail and cause loss of throttle control with warning.
💥 The risk
The warning may be experienced by erratic performance and excessive smoke. Both of these conditions may result in a situation where a vehicle crash could occur.
🔧 The fix
Ford is working with caterpillar to have the fuel pump replaced free of charge (please see 07E053). Owners may contact caterpillar at 309-675-6496 or 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.)
