This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Ford Motor Company has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2008 F-Super Duty 250/350/450/550 vehicles equipped with a 6.4L Diesel engine.

We apologize for this situation and want to assure you that, with your assistance, we will correct this condition. Our commitment, together with Ford dealers, is to provide you with the highest level of service and support.

What is the issue?

If your vehicle experiences excessive diesel fuel or oil in the exhaust system, the diesel particulate filter may become excessively hot. If this condition occurs, you may experience reduced engine power or rough engine operation, unusual noise from the engine or the exhaust, or excessive white smoke from the tailpipe. These symptoms may progress to flame out of the tailpipe which could result in injury or property damage.

What will Ford and your dealer do?

Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to reprogram the Powertrain Control Module in your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor). This software will flash the Check Engine indicator light (see page 13 of your Owners Guide) and limit the engine power if an exhaust over-temperature condition is identified. This reprogramming will limit the temperature of the diesel particulate filter which eliminates the possibility of producing a flame from the tailpipe. For further details, refer to the enclosed card titled; "Attention New Exhaust System Temperature Monitor Feature".

How long will it take?

The time needed for this repair is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time.

What are we asking you to do?

Please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for Recall 07S49. Provide the dealer with the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of your vehicle. The VIN is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter.
