Defect. Icon Vehicle Dynamics, LLC (Icon) is recalling all 05-UP FSD 2.5 Centerline Stabilizer Kits with part number 65050. The kits were sold as an accessory for certain 2005-2021 Ford F-250 4X4 and F-350 4X4 pickup trucks. The foam ring inside the stabilizer "through shaft" may block the piston ports, possibly causing the steering to lock up.

Remedy. Icon will notify owners, and dealers will install a new shock assembly with a revised foam ring and steel support disc, free of charge. The recall began December 21, 2020. Owners may contact Icon customer service at 1-951-689-4266.

The affected vehicles may detect an incorrect Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (EGT) fault indicating that the vehicle is too hot, causing the engine management system to shut down the engine and prevent its immediate restart.

I OWN A 2014 F350 DIESEL TRUCK, MY BUDDY OWNS A 2015 F350 DIESEL TRUCK, A MONTH OR SO AGO HE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HIS TRUCK STALLED/SHUT DOWN ON HIM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING HIS STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP, HE WAS BARLEY ABLE TO GET IT ONTO THE SHOULDER AND IT LEFT HIM STRANDED SINCE HIS TRUCK WOULDN'T START BACK UP. HE BROUGHT IT TO A SHOP AND COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS HIS HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. FAST FORWARD A LITTLE FURTHER, HE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT FORD PUT FAULTY FUEL PUMPS ON ALL THEIR DIESEL TRUCKS, THE PUMPS CAN'T HANDLE US DIESEL, IT'S NOT LUBRICATED ENOUGH FOR THE PUMPS, SO THE PUMP DESTROYS ITSELF AND SENDS METAL SHARDS THROUGH THE WHOLE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. SO HE WAS STUCK PAYING A $6,XXX BILL TO GET IT FIXED. FAST FORWARD I FOUND OUT THEY MAKE A 'DISASTER PREVENTION KIT' SO WHEN THE PUMP FAILS THE METAL DOESN'T GET THROUGH THE WHOLE SYSTEM YOU ONLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE PUMP WHICH IS $1,XXX. SO I BOUGHT THE KIT AND HAD IT INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK BUT IT WAS TOO LATE MY SYSTEM GOT WIPED OUT. SO NOW I'M OUT $6,XXX TO GET IT FIXED WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD. FORD WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL. I'VE DONE MORE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THE NEW DIESEL TRUCKS FROM FORD STILL HAVE THE SAME FUEL PUMP. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME TILL OTHER PEOPLE START HAVING FAILURES. I WOULD BE PISSED IF I SPENT $70,XXX ON A TRUCK ONLY TO HAVE TO SPEND MORE TO FIX THE FUEL SYSTEM. NOBODY IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUES YET BUT SOMETHING M

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT IS TO JAM ON THE BRAKES AND GET DOWN TO AROUND 25MPH AND THEN RE ACCELERATE...AN INATE AMOUNT OF PPL HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM I HOPE THAT FORD WILL ADDRESS.THIS ISSUE WITH A RECALL BEFORE PPL ARE KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS OBVIOUS FLAW IN THEIR DESIGN!

MY NEWER P/U JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY IS LEAKING FROM THE RADIATOR. SEEMS TO BE ON ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE 6.7 L ENGINE. FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND ASSIST WITH THE LARGE COST OF FIXING. FORD DEALERSHIP TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND SAYS IT NEEDS A NEW RADIATOR. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AROUND 40K MILES. JUST A FEW DROPS ON THE GROUND EACH DAY ON THE GARAGE FLOOR.

THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS. REGARDLESS OF SWITCH POSITION, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS STAY OFF WHEN THE SENSOR DETECTS ANY DAYLIGHT AT ALL. THE DESIGN OF THE DASH MAKES SEEING THE SPEEDOMETER EITHER EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE, ON OVERCAST DAYS AND IN LOW LIGHT SITUATIONS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A PROBLEM.

THE PICKUP TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND IT IS INHERENT TO WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON THE HIGHWAY GENERALLY WHILE IN THE SPEED BETWEEN 55 AND 60 MPH, DURING A COURSE OF SLIGHT TURN EITHER TO THE RIGHT OR TO THE LEFT WHEN IMPACTED BY A SLIGHT BUMP, THE TRUCK GOES INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING. THE ATTEMPT OF APPLYING THE BRAKES WOULD MAKE THE SYMPTOMS WORSE. THE ATTEMPT OF INCREASING SPEED WOULD AGAIN MAKE THE SYMPTOMS WORSE. STEERING IS ALMOST NONE EXISTENT AS THE STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING PROFUSELY. FORD MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, YET NO RESOLUTION BY THEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GIVEN AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO FIX THE TRUCK, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND IS ALSO PLAGUING OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES. THE LINK ATTACHED HERE WILL SHOW YOU TWO SEPARATE EPISODES OF WHAT HAPPENS AND HOW DANGEROUS THIS VEHICLE IS TO THE PUBLIC. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO VIEW THEM, AS IT IS JAW DROPPING.

SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN MAY OF 2014 I HAVE EXPERIENCED UNEVEN BRAKING, MEANING MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I BRAKE, THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT HARD. LESS SO ON THE LEFT. ON AUGUST 6TH, 2014 I TOOK MY 2014 FORD F350XL SUPER DUTY TO VARNEY FORD IN NEWPORT MAINE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT. THEY REPLACED BOTH BRAKE CALIPERS AND PADS. I DROVE THE MY TRUCK TO TENNESSEE ON AUGUST 15TH, 2014 WITH OUR 16,000LB 5TH WHEEL CAMPER ON THE BACK, DURING THE TRIP I HAD TO DO 2 EMERGENCY BRAKINGS IN 3 LANE TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK LURCHED TO THE RIGHT BOTH TIMES AND I HAD TO FIGHT THE WHEEL TO KEEP THE TRUCK STRAIGHT! IT KEPT DOING IT ON OUR WAY BACK HOME TO MAINE AS WELL. IT HAS DONE THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND ON JULY 30TH OF 2015 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO HIGHT FORD IN SKOWHEGAN, MAINE FOR AN UNUSUAL NOISE IN THE DRIVE LINE. THEY PUT THE VEHICLE ON THE LIFT AND CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT. THE MECHANIC BROUGHT ME TO THE TRUCK THAT WAS ON THE LIFT AND SHOWED ME THE EXCESS BRAKE DUST ON THE RIMS. HE ASKED ME TO TRY TO TURN THE RIGHT SIDE WHEEL, IT WAS HARD TO TURN. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM COULD BE. THE LEFT WHEEL TURNED WITHOUT EFFORT BUT THE RIGHT SIDE WAS STUCK. I TOLD THE MECHANIC OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE WITH BRAKING AND THAT IT PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT. THEY CHECKED ON BULLETINS AND THERE IS ONE BULLETIN ON UNUSUAL BRAKING ON THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS THE 3RD SET OF CALIPERS PUT ON THIS TRUCK AND STILL THE BRAKES ARE PULLING TO THE RIGHT. I AM HEADING OUT TO TENNESSEE ON AUGUST 14T

I ORDERED A NEW F-350 POWER STROKE DIESEL IN NOVEMBER. I WAITED UNTIL JAN 22 FOR IT TO BE DELIVERED TO ME. $65,000. WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP AT SUNRISE FORD IN FT PIERCE FLORIDA, IT LOOKED LIKE THE WHEEL HUBS WERE RUSTED SO I LOOKED UNDERNEATH. I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I SAW. THE ENTIRE CARRIAGE TO THE DRIVE TRAIN WAS NOT ONLY CORRODED AND RUSTED, BUT HOLES WERE DEVELOPING IN THE DRIVE SHAFT, THE TIE RODS, THE CARRIAGE BOLTS, THE WHEEL SUPPORTS, THE U-JOINTS...NOT SURFACE RUST. IT WAS AS THOUGH THE TRUCK PARTS WERE TAKEN FROM A JUNK YARD. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY ARE ALL LIKE THAT. SURE ENOUGH, WHEN I LOOKED UNDER ALL THE TRUCKS THEY WERE ALL ROTTED OUT...BEAUTIFUL BOX PUT ON ROTTED CHASSES. THE THING IS THAT WHEN YOU TOW TENS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS WITH THESE "WORK HORSES", IT IS THE CHASSIS THAT NEEDS TO BE STRONG AND WHEN IT IS ALREADY OXIDIZING, IT IS GOOD FOR NOTHING. I TOOK BACK MY DEPOSIT AND BEGAN TRAVELING TO NORTH PALM AND OTHER DEALERS....SAME THING...RUSTED AND ROTTED OUT CHASIS, CHASIS PARTS, DRIVE TRAIN AND PARTS AND BOLTS AND OTHER COMPONENTS. WE MADE THEM LIFT THE TRUCK SO I COULD SEE IF IT WAS AN OLD VEHICLE THEY WERE PASSING OFF AS NEW....9 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, TRAVELED BY FREIGHT...NOT DRIVEN...AND THE YEAR ON THE STICKER IN THE DOOR WAS 2014/JAN. WHEN I ASKED WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO...HE SAID, "NO ONE EVER THINKS TO LOOK UNDERNEATH....BY THE WAY...THE CHASIS IS ONLY WARRANTIED FOR THREE YEARS...THEN FORD WASHES THEIR HANDS OF IT! WHAT HAPPENED TO AMERICA?TH
