This model has the same Bosh CP4 high pressure fuel pump as the recalled models 2020-2022 and in fact being older the catastrophic failure risk is higher due to additional mileage. If this part fails the engine shuts off with loss of steering and braking even when pulling 15-20K pounds. The safety concern for this year is the same or greater then newer models.

While sitting at a stop sign, the fuel supply line blue off the fuel filter under the hood. Straying diesel fuel all over. The white clip that hold the hose on had crumbled apart, It soaked the engine with fuel and we were lucky it did not start a fire. The fuel line was reattached and it then blew off again. I had to replace the entire fuel line at a cost of around $1000. Prior to the first event the filter had been on the truck and was being serviced every other oil change in line with the manufactured guidelines. When looking on line this is a major problem with the fuel line and under hood filters causing fires. This needs a repair before more people are hurt

Failed component was the upper fuel filter/ fuel filter connecting lines located on top of the 6.7 power stroke engine broke and poured diesel all over the engine and into the valley causing the engine and engine bay to catch on fire while driving down the road. Safety was the fact that our entire truck burnt down and there was extreme risk of loss of life and ended up total loss of property. There have been multiple cases of power strokes from 2011-2026 equipped with the 6.7L power stroke diesel engine having this exact same problem due to the poor placement and inadequate materials to be used in high pressure fuel lines and filters. The vehicle was inspected by insurance and they did determine that was the cause of the fire. There were no warnings, we started smelling something and then smoke began coming through the vents. Pulled over and by then the engine bay was on fire and even the fire extinguisher could not put the diesel out and the entire truck was engulfed in flames in a matter of minutes. Ford needs to fix this issue with the placement of their upper fuel filters and should be held accountable to their customers who have suffered loss for this.

truck showed alert of decreased power twice withing a month. When taken into Ford they sated the fuel pressure pump and fuel rail were damaged due to pump sending metal shaving throughout the fuel system. I have found out through research that this is a common occurrence due to a faulty pump that was originally installed in the trucks around these dates. No recall or alert has been given to owner buying these vehicles and now requires a very expensive repair to correct (with a whole different type of pump) and avoid future issues.

Truck refuses to regen. Find a service bulletin for known MAF problems on the 6.7 engines. This issues cause truck to go into limp mode and can shut truck off with little to no notice. Leaving people stuck possibly in the middle of the road. Cost over $1100 to fix. How is there no recall or even warning to owners that this may be an issue? Just a technical service bulletin for service departments at Ford….

My life, my passengers and surrounding personnel may have been injured or killed if went un noticed for too long while parking next to fuel pumps when engine was running or driving along I 90. There were no warning lights indicating loss of fuel pressure or any sort of engine light on. Luckily I noticed it before it could get out of hand and happened during a week day during business hours a local ford dealer, IDA Ford in Auburn Ma had a fuel filter kit in stock: They also stated they just had another customer a few days earlier with the same issue. Had to Uber to and from dealer to get parts to repair. Poured water on engine to break down diesel fuel over engine to drive back to NY and not cause a fire. Looking online for a recall and don’t see my year of vehicle but just 2021????

Filled the tank before arriving home, parked on incline nose down. Not very steep. A few hours later there was a puddle of diesel on the driveway and after inspection it seemed it was leaking from the top of tank. I have no other vehicle and this one cost too much to be doing this at 60000 miles. It is dangerous to drive for fire risk but I have no choice. In 55 years I have never had a fuel tank leak on any vehicle. Looking online there have been many instances under the same conditions. There is no condition that a fuel tank should leak.
