NHTSA recall 07V139000
Power Train · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: On certain trucks equipped with a 6.4L diesel engine, excessive temperatures in the diesel particulate filter in the exhaust system may result from excess hydrocarbons in the exhaust.
Why it matters: Lack of power or rough operation, unusual noises from the engine or exhaust, white smoke from the exhaust, and potentially a visible flame out the tailpipe can occur.
The fix: Dealers will reprogram the power train control module. The recall began on April 3, 2007.
