Service Brakes, Air 6 Read
What's wrong. Ford is recalling certain model year 2011 f-650 and f-750 trucks, equipped with air brakes and a trailer package or tractor package, for an incorrectly programmed ABS module. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems (ABS)."
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

Ford is recalling certain model year 2011 f-650 and f-750 trucks, manufactured from december 3, 2010, through december 20, 2011, equipped with bendix atr-6 antilock traction relay valves. In extremely cold conditions, the bendix relay valves may potentially develop internal leakage. Internal leakage can lead to air pressure being delivered to affected primary or secondary brake causing continuous brake application
Risk. Unexpected continuous brake application can cause the brakes to overheat and lead to a fire. Unexpected continuous brake application can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, the brakes may be applied without illuminating the brake lights, failing to give proper warning…
Fix. Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install a bendix atr-6 traction relay valve kit. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on april 12, 2012. Owners may contact ford motor company at 1-800-392-3673

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

Frequently asked questions
How many recalls does the Ford F-750 have?
21 NHTSA campaigns on record, covering 2000–2022. Not every campaign applies to every car — coverage is by production range, so check your VIN.
Is recall work free?
Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer regardless of the car's age, mileage or how many owners it has had. That is a federal requirement, not a courtesy.
How do I know if my F-750 still has an open recall?
Enter its VIN above. We show campaigns that apply to that exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been recorded as done.
Why did a defect take years to be recalled?
On this model the average gap between the car being built and the defect being admitted is 1.05 years, and the slowest campaign came 4 years later. Defects usually surface as they accumulate in the field: complaints pile up, an investigation opens, and only then is a campaign issued.
