Consumer Description

FORD NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THE CAM POSITION SENSOR. IF THIS PART FAILS ON THE SUPER DUTY DIESEL AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS, A CRASH COULD OCCUR RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT THE SUPER DUTY MAY COME IN CONTACT WITH. I WAS DRIVING AT 75 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED DUE TO CPS FAILURE. THE TRUCK SLOWED SO FAST I ALMOST HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THE ENGINE WOULDN'T RESTART. OTHER MOTORIST SAW ME IN TROUBLE AND LET ME PULL TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. STEERING THE TRUCK REQUIRED "SUPERMAN" STRENGTH. I SCRAPPED MY TRUCK AGAINST THE GUARD RAIL. FORTUNATELY I WASN'T TOWING 6,000 LB LIKE I NORMALLY DO AT THAT TIME. NOW I KEEP A SPARE CPS AND A 10 MM SOCKET IN MY TRUCK.
