Ford Recalls Diesel Trucks Due to Potential Fault
The American automotive company Ford has announced a major recall of its Ford Super Duty diesel pickups manufactured over the past few years. The reason for this recall is the risk of a potential fault that could lead to an oil leak and, subsequently, a fire. Approximately 60,000 vehicles are affected, making it one of the most significant recalls in recent months.
According to the company, the fault is related to improper gasket installation, which might allow oil to leak into the engine compartment. Ford emphasizes that in the event of an oil leak, there is a risk of ignition, posing a serious threat to the safety of the driver and passengers.
Ford has already begun notifying owners of affected vehicles, providing instructions on how to obtain the necessary repair free of charge. The company urges all owners receiving notifications to contact dealership centers as soon as possible to undergo repairs, ensuring safety on the roads. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the gaskets to resolve the issue.
This recall has been a notable event not just for Ford but for the industry as a whole, highlighting the importance of vehicle safety and quick responses to any identified issues. In particular, the company promises to continue monitoring the situation and inform customers of any additional measures that may be needed.
Ford encourages diesel pickup owners to be vigilant for potential signs of oil leaks, such as the smell of burning oil or visible puddles of oil under the vehicle, and to immediately contact a service center if they notice anything suspicious.
This recall serves as a reminder that any vehicle issues can lead to serious consequences, and it is crucial to monitor the condition of the vehicle to ensure safety on the roads.
