FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
At this point, nothing has happened. This is a fuel pump, bio-diesel issue that can cause a lack of power which is a safety risk. This recall has been active for 7 months with no remedy listed, but according to Ford Motor Company will require a software update? The remedy is replacing the fuel pump with a DCR valve. Waiting for the truck to breakdown and potentially leading to loss of life should not be acceptable. They know about the issue, they say no remedy, yet they are continuing to manufacture these vehicles. Are they manufacturing new vehicles with a known safety risk or did they fix the problem on newer model vehicles and just stonewalling current owners?

ENGINE
There is an active recall on my truck and it is affecting my ability to use my truck for work purposes. I am not allowed to used a vehicle with an open, active recall, therefore I cannot use my truck. This recall has been active for more than six months and a remedy has not yet been identified. I am posting a complaint to try and speed up the recall process, which if I understand correctly is a software update for the engine to reduce biodiesel buildup in the engine which "could" cause loss of power.

Ongoing Fuel System Failures Related to Recall 24S78 – Request for Escalated Review To Whom It May Concern, My name is [XXX] , and I am the owner of two 2021 Ford F-350 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel trucks, both of which are affected by Recall 24S78 / NHTSA Campaign 24V957 concerning biodiesel deposit accumulation in the fuel system and a pending PCM software update. Vehicle Information: VIN [XXX] VIN [XXX] Both vehicles have already experienced critical failures that directly align with the described defect in the recall, including: Failure of the CP4 high-pressure fuel pump Repeated clogging of the water/fuel separator filter Loss of power, extended crank times, and intermittent no-start conditions These issues occurred prior to the recall remedy being available and have compromised vehicle performance and safety. I am requesting: A full inspection and evaluation of the fuel systems under the scope of Recall 24S78 once the software becomes available. Coverage or reimbursement for repair or replacement of the CP4 pump and related components if found to be caused by biodiesel-related damage as described in the recall. A formal service record entry acknowledging these failures for future reference and eligibility under the recall. Escalation of this issue to a Ford regional service manager, if needed. Given the significant safety risk and the known failure history of the CP4 fuel system, I ask that Ford address this matter thoroughly and beyond a software update, if necessary. Please confirm receipt of this inquiry and advise me on next steps. I can be reached at: Phone: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
While operating my vehicle on a busy road the power failed and vehicle shut down. Saftey of myself and others were at risk as this occurred while actively driving. Upon restart attempt vehicle failed to start. Vehicle was towed to and inspected by an independent service center. Mechanic advised, based on codes from check engine, the high pressure fuel pump failed and metal shavings were in my fuel system. Mechanic replaced pump, flushed system. Upon return of fixed vehicle power dropped out, check engine light appeard again. Returned to independent service center with codes of metal shavings in fuel sytem again. Pistons replaced, still being worked on for further issues. No prior warnings, check engine lights, recall notices etc. Contacted ford dealership, advised there was no fix and nothing they can do, advised to call corporate. Called corporate who advised I'd be notified via mail when a fix was available and no further help can be given despite the condition of the truck. Truck is unable to be driven due to constant power failures. Advised to tow truck and get a rental, both at my cost, until a fix was discovered which could be upwards of 1 year, keep receipts as I MAY be able to submit for reimbursement but it was too soon to know if those reimbursement services would be covered under a fix for the recall 24S78.
