Apparent new lawsuit on the CP4 failures for 6.7
I just found this on a 6.7 Powerstroke page I follow on Facebook. I don't know if there are any threads on this already but posting up for FYI.

I had a '12 with about 28,000 miles on it that had the failure & Fords response was exactly as described. Contaminated fuel. They showed me contaminated fuel. No warranty. The dealership I felt did as best as they could on a trade, ( for a used Chevy) I'm back in a Ford 6.2 now but don't put much stock in their or anyone else's warranty for that matter because of that.
I agree that the diesel standards are at best poor, at least for these high tech diesels systems today. Its why I'll never own another diesel pickup, period. I took a big hit on that truck & still ain't over it! :) |

Your insurance should have picked up the tab.
I blame diesel standards & Fords filtration system at the time for its failure. Its a shame as I really liked that truck & the 6.7 power. Probably still be in it today otherwise. |
[QUOTE=linekin;18441627]I looked into it & they wouldn't. Can't recall why but seem to think they said it was a warranty issue. Which in looking at the fuel the service manager showed me, I would have said he was right it was contaminated. So, agreed the insurance should have.

The weird thing was the failure happened on startup after work with absolutely no sign of anything on the way there. For those of you that have not been fortunate enough to hear it, it sounds like the fan or shroud has come loose & making contact with it. Hope you all never have to hear it! |

It looked like rust in the bucket he saved for me. I would have like to watch the tech take the sample but that wasn't the case.

Perhaps watery fuel rusted the fuel system? I'd hope the filters would have caught rust that may have came with the fuel. |

My '12 had 58K on it and just out of warranty when I traded in it on a 6.2l. I never had a problem with mine and drained the fuel/water bowl religiously. Your issue was always something that was in the back of my head and wondering if it would be covered under warranty. Did you ever have a water-in fuel light?
