A component has not yet failed but an existing recall (Ford recall 24S78 / NHTSA ID 24V957) describes the potential for loss of motive power increasing the risk of a crash. This recall was issued in December of 2024. I received a notice in January of 2026 that the repair was available, went to my local dealer and was told the recall had been paused on 02/03/2026 - no actual repair is currently available. I live full-time in my 2021, 20,000 lb., 5th-wheel RV and frequently tow it with no other option than my 2020 F350 with the open recall. To quote the recall document, "Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this safety recall" but a loss of motive power is exponentially worse when towing a large load which is what this vehicle was purpose-built to do.
I have sent in a previous complaint as our truck would die in the middle of the road, due to the fuel pump. It is unacceptable that Ford has not resolved the recall issue in 9 months. Our truck is needed daily for our business. Please make Ford take action.
When exiting the interstate and coming to a complete stop at the bottom of the exit ramp we went to make a right turn onto a two lane mountain road when we felt a hesitation and within seconds the engine began to sputter, we lost power and the check engine light came on. This was a two lane 55MPH road with no shoulder pull off. Thankfully there was no oncoming traffic in the other lane and there was also an abandoned fruit stand parking lot which were were able to drift across the road and stop in. We experienced a COMPLETE loss of power. Had there been oncoming traffic or no open parking lot just across the road we might have experiened a crash. It is important to note that we were on a vacation in the mountains and thankfully our RV was parked at the Campground we were not...
Ford issued recall 24S78 in December of 2024. This recall addresses a known safety issue with the fuel system. It's nearly six months later, and the solution for the recall is still not available. I'm concerned that my 2020 Ford Super Duty is unsafe to drive, especially when towing a heavy load. Can you please force them to resolve this important safety recall?
I own a 2020 Ford F-350 with the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engine. It uses the Bosch CP4 high-pressure fuel pump, which is known to be prone to sudden, catastrophic failure. If the pump fails, it sends metal shavings through the fuel system, which can cause complete engine shutdown without warning — a dangerous situation while driving. Currently, an unresolved safety recall exists that could cause additional potential damage to this high pressure fuel pump, which only increases the odds of the pump itself failing. That said, the present unresolved recall does not solve the problem of a faulty high pressure fuel pump. Ford is aware of the issue and switched to a more reliable pump in later models, but has not issued a recall or offered repairs to affected vehicles. This is a known defect that affects safety and reliability. While mine has not failed yet, many owners have...
1. The Fuel system failed. Ford Dealership removed and replace all Parts. 2.

We were leaving Kerrville Tx around [XXX] on our way to Colorado for a fishing trip. We got to Colorado City Tx 3:45pm to refuel and grab a late lunch, we left at 4:30pm. We went through Snyder and Post Tx and approximately 5:45pm 1.2 miles southeast of Southland Tx, I had a warning come up on the dash saying Low Fuel Pressure and Reduced Engine Power and had smoke coming in then I pulled over asap and upon opening my door flames hit my leg and even more smoke began to fill the cab rapidly. We were fighting for our life’s. You could see fuel dripping/ flowing driver side under hood, location secondary fuel filter you can even see a trail on the pavement. I knew I had to move quickly and grabbed my 2 fire extinguishers and put to use and after I started throwing all combustibles and...
Cp4 catastrophic failure which is a known and common problem it caused my truck to die while on the highway almost causing a crash
Ford sent me a recall for my 2020 F350 powerstroke saying they are trying to come up with a computer programming to fix faulty fuel pump in my truck which could lead to loss of power and crashing especially while pulling heavy loads. This is a mechanical issue. It has nothing to do with a software update which they claim they do not have but will try to get. There is no fix for this at the time. There actually is a fix. S&s makes a DCR fuel pump specifically to replace these fuel pumps because these fuel pumps can blow up and ruin the entire vehicle as the vehicles with these fuel pumps are extremely expensive.. the maker of this DCR pump for a 2020 F350 6.7 l powerstroke diesel has found the mechanical problem internal to the existing fuel pumps engineering and has designed a new one. I'm...
