Defect

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021 F-650 and F-750 trucks equipped with 7.3L gasoline engines. The underbody heat shield and other heat-protection components were not installed during assembly. Without these components, the interior cabin floor and seat attachments may reach elevated temperatures in certain driving conditions.

Consequence

Skin contact with certain areas of the cabin interior floor or seat attachments in these high temperature conditions may cause injury.

Remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install the missing underbody heat shield, thermal insulator patch, seat base covers, and seat bolt covers, free of charge. The recall began September 28, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S36.
