AFFECTED VEHICLES

Certain 2008 F-250/350/450/550 vehicles equipped with a 6.4L diesel engine, built at the Kentucky Truck Plant from Job #1 through January 28, 2007. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS. This information will be available on March 22, 2007.

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

Some of the affected vehicles may not have adequate clearance between the positive battery cable and the rear attachment bolt for the right front splash shield. If the cable rubs against the bolt, it may be possible for an electrical short to occur.

SERVICE ACTION

Dealers will inspect the clearance between the splash shield bolt and the positive battery cable near the starter. If necessary, two of the retention brackets for the battery cable may need to be adjusted to move the cable away from the bolt.

Please note: All of the affected vehicles in this program are also included in Safety Recall 07S49 – Powertrain Control Module Recalibration. Please be sure to check OASIS and complete 07S49 if it is open.

PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory prior to delivery.
