What's the story

Ford has issued a recall warning to 2025 Super Duty owners due to a potentially faulty brake pedal assembly, which could lead to loss of braking power.

Impacted models

Around 2,345 units affected 

The recall impacts some 2,345 units of the 2025 Super Duty trucks. The problem was first flagged by the employees at the Kentucky Truck Plant in late May. They had reported a missing brake pedal retaining spring on a 2025 F-350 model to the company's Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG).

Investigation findings

Two trucks with the same issue flagged

The CCRG later found a report from May 5 about a service technician experiencing no braking force during a pre-delivery inspection of a Super Duty. The brake pedal was reportedly "swinging freely." A warranty report in early June also flagged another F-350 with the same issue, which was discovered by an inspecting technician.

Operator error

How Ford determined the scope of affected vehicles

The CCRG's investigation revealed that both trucks with the missing retaining spring were built by a new, still-in-training operator. The camera system meant to monitor production was also found to be down at certain times. As a result, Ford is recalling vehicles without enough visual evidence of their proper construction.

Safety measures

Owners advised to get their vehicles inspected

Ford has already started informing the owners of the affected vehicles. The automaker is advising them to get their trucks inspected in collaboration with their dealer, as a safety precaution.
