Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

MY LCF DUMP TRUCK BEGAN IDLING A BIT IRRADICALLY. DRIVING THE TRUCK AT ABOUT 40 MPH IT BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND LOSE POWER, UNTIL THE ENGINE TURNED OFF COMPLETELY LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD. I OPENED UP THE PRIMARY FUEL FILTER AND FOUND IT TO BE CAKED WITH A SILVER METALLIC MATERIAL. I PUT IN A NEW FILTER AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK HOME, BUT THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING AS IT SHOULD. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND A LOT OF DIESEL FORD TRUCK OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND IT WAS BECAUSE THE FUEL TANKS WERE DELAMINATING AND GETTING SUCKED THROUGH THE FUEL SYSTEM.

OUR 2006 FORD LCF RUNS VERY ROUGH,AND STALLS WHILE MOVING. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THE FUEL TANK IS DELAMINATING INSIDE, CAUSING THE FUEL INJECTORS TO FAIL. APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. WE'VE REPLACED SEVERAL FUEL INJECTORS OVER THAT TIME. THE COST TO FIX THIS (FROM FORD) IS 5,000.00. NEW TANK,FUEL LINES, ALL NEW INJECTORS. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THAT THIS IS BECOMING COMMON FOR THE FORD 2006 FORD LCF. I HAVE VERY GOOD MAINTANANCE RECORDS AND ONLY USE FUEL FROM ONE SOURCE. SINCE 2009 I HAVE SPENT 14,000.00 ON REPAIRING THIS FORD LCF, MOSTLY FUEL ISSUES. *TR
