I recieved a letter about my Fuel Delivery Module. It apparently fails to conform to the FMVSS Fuel System Integrity. Has anyone recieved this letter yet? If so, how long does this take the dealer to repair? Thanks for the help.

 

I have not received anything in the mail about that. Very interesting though!!
Does it show what build date is affected? I just bought a Job 1 truck about 3 months ago with the 6.4 and in the morning when I first start it up it acts like its got air in the fuel system i.e has a light miss that levels off after about 20 seconds. Its going in the shop this week. Sorry I couldnt help. John

 

It does not say anything about which build. Just list my my vin #. Thanks for the reply.

 

I havent gotten anything either. Also checked the myford.com page and its not comming up with anything. Anyone know if that site is accurate for recall notices, I worry sometimes Im going to miss a notice in the mail.

 

I haven't heard of this either and nothing on https://myford.fordvehicles.com for my job 1 either.

 

I have a Job 1 but I think it is more related to VIN # than anything else. I will take mine into the dealer next week to have this and the seat fixed. I suspect it will be there for the day. That is my plan I will post unless someone beats me to it on how long it takes. The flyer stated half a day but this is all dependent upon how busy the dealership is.

 

Look at the top of THIS page and click the icon RECALLS/TSB's. I just did and didn't find anything for a 2008 Ford F-350. A lot of sub sections to chose, so you probably need to do it individually to verify your own vehicle. Good info, try it.

 

Hey Guys,
don't post here much due to my crazy occupation..anyways,I got one of those letters as well.I have a JOB#3 truck built 1/28/08..I am wondering myself how big of a deal it is,guess we'll find out sooner or later.

My trucks a job#2 build (11/07/08), so I'm not sure if it's related to the job build or not, It does not say in the letter.

 

I received the letter 2 days ago and my truck is a job 3. I took delivery in May and my truck was ordered. it says it is a 1/2 dat job. It is not job specific.

 

I received the notice a couple of days ago myself.

 

Mine is scheduled for the recall work on Monday and the estimate was 4 hrs.

 

You guys that got the letter....does it say what the problem is or what happens when the suspect part malfunctions? That way I can bring it to the attention of my service advisor on Monday when I drop the truck off if it needs it done. Thanks abunch!!!John.

 

I received mine last week, called the dealer and they said that they had to order the part.

NEWS: Ford Recalls F-250, F-350 Trucks for Fire Hazard<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Consumer Affairs -- April 29, 2008 -- The Ford Motor Company is recalling 64,754 of its heavy duty 2008 F-250 and F-350 trucks because of a potential fire hazard.

Federal safety regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report that the trucks do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard imposed to maintain “fuel system integrity” and prevent fuel spills.

NHTSA warned on its Web site that single-rear-wheel versions of the trucks with 4-wheel drive and the 156-inch wheel base, equipped with a two-piece drive shaft contain a fuel tank system that can rupture or leak in a crash.

“During a 30 mph frontal impact into a rigid barrier, the fuel tank can move forward and contact a frame cross member, potentially causing damage to the fuel delivery module which can result in fuel spillage,” according to the NHTSA Web site.

The federal safety agency warned that “fuel spillage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.”

Ford dealers will install a bracket in the trucks to remedy the safety problem when the recall gets under way in late May. The recall number is 080C04. Truck owners may contact Ford at 1-800392-3673 or NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153). <o></o>

I just got some information on this:

The dealer will install a metal plate in front of the fuel tank to prevent it from shifting forward in the event of a front end hit. They mention the fuel lines can get damaged in that situation(fuel leakage).
also mentions the flate rate time of 0.9 hours to install,In which involves drilling into the frame(not that crazy about that )
