Ford F-250 SD Recall 22V256: Transmission Park Can Fail, Risking Rollaway Crash

NHTSA campaign 22V256, reported April 14, 2022, 23,165 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Some 2020 Ford Super Duty trucks (F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550) with 6.7L diesel engines may have a washer inside the automatic transmission that can break apart. The resulting metal debris can get lodged in the transmission's 'Park' mechanism, which may stop the vehicle from reaching or holding Park.

If the truck cannot hold Park, it can roll away unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners should take this recall seriously and have their vehicle checked promptly.

Dealers will replace a gearset within the transmission free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 19, 2023. You can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 (Ford recall 22S22), and you can check your VIN for any open recalls.
