CEL and Code P208E

Got this nugget this morning after dropping my daughter off at school. I also noticed a significant reduction in power. Had to get fuel so while pumping, I checked the code with my WiFi reader and Engine Link app. Got the code number which came up with this: 6.7L ? MIL on with DTCs P208E P218F P204F ? 2011-2016 Ford F-Super Duty | ford.oemdtc.com

I decided to clear the code and see if it would instantly return which it didn't. Power came back as soon as it was cleared too. Will see if it comes back. Anyone else have this come up? Looks like the code is saying there might be crystals on my DEF injector. I did have a regen last night right before I parked for the evening and then this showed showed up first thing this morning. Would a DEF injector nozzle be covered under the emissions warranty if it comes back? Thoughts? TIA...

Not sure if it would be covered. You would have to check the part number and then it would tell you the warranty.

If I recall when you shut it down, the def goes back into the tank.

Not following the second sentence Scott? When I shut what down? The code? The truck?

Well, it must be rare with no one posting. I guess I'll just keep driving and see if it returns. Drove around all morning and it hasn't returned. Will see what the next regen does...
