More info:
This is a new SSI that Ford released on Friday related to an injector issue. Here's the details:
SUBJECT: Advance Notice: DEMONSTRATION/DELIVERY HOLD
Special Service Instruction 07T07
Certain 2008 Model Year F-Super Duty Trucks with 6.4L Diesel Engines
Fuel Injector Replacement
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Certain 2008 Model Year F-Super Duty Trucks equipped with 6.4L Diesel Engines built at the Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant from April 3, 2007 through May 21, 2007. Approximately 3,100 vehicles are affected and are identified by VIN in OASIS.
REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
In all of the affected vehicles, three (3) fuel injectors were subjected to a reverse polarity voltage during engine testing. The injectors that received reverse polarity will not operate properly. This may potentially cause the vehicle to run rough, hesitate, or stumble on acceleration.
SERVICE ACTION
DO NOT DEMONSTRATE or DELIVER any of the affected vehicles involved in this Special Service Instruction Program. A complete Dealer bulletin will be provided to Dealers the week of June 4, 2007 when it is anticipated that parts ordering information and repair instructions will be available to support this Program.
Only 3,100 vehicles is good news. And the fact they are on top of this now.
