Ford E-450 Recall 24V097: Loss of Power Steering and Brake Assist Can Raise Crash Risk

NHTSA campaign 24V097, reported February 9, 2024, 16,543 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Some 2021-2022 Ford E-350 and E-450 vehicles with dual rear wheels may have an inadequate connection between the power steering pressure line and the brake hydroboost unit. This connection can allow power steering fluid to leak out suddenly. When that happens, you can lose power steering and power brake assist, which increases the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the power steering pressure line and the hydroboost jumper line at no cost to you. If your vehicle was already repaired under the earlier recall 22V-089, you still need this new repair, because the remedy is different and must be completed.

Owner notification letters were mailed on June 21, 2024. You can also check your VIN for open recalls and contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332, referencing Ford recall number 24S07.
