Ford Motor Company is recalling 2,718 model year 2025 F-Super Duty F-650 and F-750 vehicles because the front axle tie rod assemblies may have been manufactured with incorrectly heat-treated ball studs. These ball studs can break while the vehicle is in motion, leading to a complete failure of the tie rod and an immediate loss of steering control. Owners of these heavy-duty trucks should contact a Ford dealer for a free inspection and replacement of the tie rod assembly.
If the tie rod fails, the driver will lose the ability to steer the vehicle, which significantly increases the risk of a crash. This failure is caused by a manufacturing defect in the metal components that makes them prone to breaking under normal operating stress.
Free inspection and replacement of the tie rod assembly
