The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine and loss of power warning lights were illuminated. In addition, the vehicle sputtered. The vehicle was driven to the shoulder of the road. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with fuel systems failure. The contact was informed that the fuel system needed to be replaced. In addition, the contact was informed that a complete fuel system and maintenance needed to be performed to fix the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V957000 (Fuel System, Diesel); however, the part was not yet available. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The contact was informed that the recall was not associated with the VIN. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

NHTSA Complaint Text (Copy/Paste) Vehicle: 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty 6.7L Power Stroke Recall: 24S78 – Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Software Update Complaint: Ford has issued Recall 24S78 for the high-pressure fuel pump defect on my 2020 F-250, but the company has not provided an actual remedy. The recall shows as open on my VIN, and Ford’s documentation says a PCM software update is the fix, but Ford released the software and then pulled it back within a week. My dealership confirmed Ford removed the remedy from their system, so they cannot perform the recall at all. This leaves my truck exposed to a known safety defect with no available repair. The high-pressure fuel pump failure this recall addresses can cause sudden loss of power, engine stall, or complete shutdown while driving. Until a working remedy is released, I’m driving a truck that Ford has admitted has a serious safety defect, but they have not provided any fix or timeline. I am requesting NHTSA investigate why the remedy was withdrawn, why no replacement remedy has been provided, and why Ford is leaving owners with a known safety risk for an extended period. This is an expensive vehicle, and the defect can cause catastrophic engine damage and create a hazardous situation on the road. Owners deserve an effective recall remedy that is actually available. Not exactly sure when the recall was first brought to light but I do know it has been months now.

My cp4 fuel pump failed on my 2020 ford f250 and died while towing my 7000lb trailer for my business and had to get towed to shop to find out the entire fuel system needs replaced and ford dealer has it and says because recall 24s78 for my vehicle is on pause that there is nothing they can do about it and I’m stuck without my truck which I need for my business and believe ford is responsible to replace the fuel system with no charge to me when the cp4 pump is such a common failure in my trucks!
