  • WMI (1–3) — country & manufacturer. Tells you it's a Ford and the country it was built in (real Ford codes below).
  • VDS (4–8) — model, body style, engine, trim & restraints. The 8th digit is the engine code.
  • Check digit (9) — a math check that proves the VIN is genuine.
  • Model year (10) — the year it was built (e.g. R = 2024, S = 2025).
  • Plant (11) — which factory assembled this F-750.
  • Serial (12–17) — the unique sequential production number.

Risk. An affected vehicle may not display a trailer abs fault in the cab of the truck warning the driver of an existing trailer abs failure. Such an abs failure may result in trailer brake lock-up, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix. Dealers will notify owners and replace the abs module free of charge. The safety recall began on may 18, 2011. Owners may contact ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332.

Electrical System:12v/24v/48v Battery14V186000

Risk. If this occurs, it could cause excessive brake temperatures, noise, brake fade, odor, smoke, brake pull and possibly longer stopping distances which could increase the risk of a crash.

Fix. Dealers will lubricate the s-cam tube and check the s-cam for free movement at all four wheel locations free of charge. The safety recall began on december 16, 2009. Owners may contact ford at 1-866-436-7332 or through the internet at www.fordowner.com.

2009 Ford F-750 recalls 1

Exterior Lighting09V476000

Visibility:windshield Wiper/washer:motor01V258000

What's wrong. Vehicle description: passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, and light and medium duty pickup trucks. A switch located in the plastic cover of the wiper motor gear case could malfunction and overheat, potentially resulting in loss of intermittent wiper function, loss of wiper park function, complete loss of wiper function, or ignition of the plastic cover material. Switch malfunction is most likely to occur when the intermittent setting of the wipers is being used, or when snow or ice obstructs the blades from returning to the "parked" position at the bottom of the windshield. These vehicles were built at the following assembly plants: atlanta plant from 2/11/00 through 7/31/00; chicago plant from 2/14/00 through 8/4/00; kansas city plant from 2/26/00 to 9/4/00; kentucky truck plant from 2/18/00 to 8/31/00; michigan truck plant from 2/23/00 through 8/3/00; norfolk plant from 2/21/00 through 7/27/00; wayne stamping and assembly plant from 2/25/00 through 8/15/00; and wixom plant from 2/15/00 through 8/8/00.

Service Brakes, Air:antilock00V232007

What's wrong. Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks built with bendix air abs with an ec-17 1030r electronic control unit (ecu), there have been reports of unwanted abs activation at low speeds caused by 1) chafed abs wheel speed sensor wires on rotating parts or 2) a damaged component at the wheel end that generates a certain type of erratic sensor signal.

Risk. This condition could cause the abs ecu to exhaust the air at the air brake modulators for one or more of the wheels. This could result in extended braking distances and a possible crash.

Fix. Dealers will replace the abs ecu. Owner notification began march 20, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.

2011 F-750

This vehicle was used as a mobile medical unit for research. Two staff members were in the cab en route to a study visit - both were familiar drivers of the vehicle. Approximately 9 miles into the trip a passerby on the interstate flagged us down and wanted us to pull over and informed us that the back wheels were on fire. Without the passerby, we would not have know anything was wrong. There were no indicator light warnings and the vehicle did not seem to be driving different than usual. We pulled over, called 911 for assistance and used a fire extinguisher we had on board to douse the flames. Two other truckers stopped and assisted us, bringing their fire extinguishers to our aid. The local fire department arrived and got the fire completely extinguished. The vehicle has a diesel powered engine and air brakes. It also has a hydraulic leveling system to stabilize the unit while at study visits. There were two loud popping noises within minutes of each other at one point. The particular vin for this vehicle does not have any recalls, but i have read about 2 recalls that involve air brakes on ford f750 2011 vehicles.
