Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Mar 6, 2026
The CP4 pump in my truck exploded sending metal fragments through the fuel system. I was going 55 mph, it went into low engine power mode and then turned off leaving me stranded on the side on an interstate. This is a known issue with this model. There were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms prior to this happening. The fuel pump failure is catastrophic.
Unknown or Other · reported Nov 14, 2022
The frame cracked, because of "customer satiisfaction program" 21b04 we inspected our frame on a regular basis. We are an independent repair shop. We sent pictures to ford and they said wrong type of chassis to be covered. If you look back at a "terex" safety notice "sn-610-14" ford has had this problem since 2006.
