Ford F-450
Model Overview
The Ford F-450 is an extension of the brand's popular F-Series Super Duty trucks, but aimed purely at commercial users. Often sold in chassis cab form -- with no body aft of the cab -- the F-450 is designed to be "upfitted" with bodies from third-party suppliers. Like the rest of the Super Duty line, the F-450 is known for its big payload and tow ratings and powertrains shared with even larger truck models.

Notification Type:
Compliance Mfr
Certain decorative chrome door handle covers, sold as aftermarket accessories through Ford dealers, may affect compliance to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 206 – Door Lock and Door Retention Components. These accessories may cause the door handles to fail to conform to the inertial load requirements of the standard. A door handle fitted with a chrome cover could unlatch due to inertial loads during a side impact crash if the door were unlocked, which would increase the risk of injury. Correction: Covers will be removed from vehicles and owners will be reimbursed for parts and labour.

On certain vehicles, the inner sidewall of the affected tires may have been damaged during vehicle assembly. This could result in a loss of air or, in some cases, a rupture during use. If this were to occur, a damaged tire that ruptures or rapidly loses air may result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the tires and replace if necessary.

Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Certain ambulance or fire package vehicles with 6.7L diesel engines may experience a "stop safety now" warning message and 5 audible chimes if an Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensor fault is detected. Engine torque would be gradually reduced by 70 percent over a period of 45 seconds to a power-reduced level that is maintained. During this time, there would be no effect on steering, braking, lighting, electrical, or restraint systems, allowing the operator to maneuver the vehicle to a safe location. Such an occurrence could also result in an engine shut down and subsequent inability to quickly restart the vehicle. If this condition were to occur when an ambulance or fire engine vehicle was transporting a patient or providing medical assistance, it could delay medical treatment and increase the risk of injury to the patient. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Powertrain Control Module with updated software.

Certain ambulance package vehicles with 6.7L diesel engines may experience a "stop safety now" warning message and 5 audible chimes while the vehicles gradually loses power, eventually resulting in the engine stalling when speed falls below 5 km/h. If this were to occur while the ambulance is transporting a patient, engine shutdown with no ability to restart could interfere with patient care and increase the risk of injury to the patient. Correction: Dealers will replace the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor located downstream of the diesel particulate filter (DPF).
