Service bulletins for the 2012 Ford F-650

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

22N14 S12024-02-01. Service bulletin. UNKNOWN OR OTHER; ENGINE. Certain 2011-2012 Model Year F-Series Super Duty Vehicles Equipped with a 6.7L Diesel Engine State Inspection and Maintenance Test Failure Due to DTCs P2073 and/or P2074 Adding owner letter and corrected dealer bulletin. First Part submitted 11/01/23
SSM 516912023-06-16. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM; POWER TRAIN. 2011-2023 F-Super Duty and 2016-2024 F-650/F-750 vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine may exhibit an elevated idle condition. During prolonged idle time, vehicles may experience this elevated idle to reduce unburned hydrocarbons from the SCR. The powertrain control module estimates hydrocarbon levels in the SCR and may increase idle speed to remove them. Idle speed will be increased to 1000 RPM for ambient temperatures near 26°C (80°F) and may increase to 1200 RPM at -40 °C (-40°F). Vehicles may exhibit exhaust smoke and diesel exhaust fluid smell during elevated idle condition. Exhaust smoke and smell condition will not affect reliability or durability of the engine. Power take-off (PTO) use and idle set point control will disable elevated speed. It is required that the operator monitor the vehicle and adhere to any Exhaust Filter warning messages.
TSB1600012021-12-20. Service bulletin. FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM; ENGINE; EQUIPMENT; POWER TRAIN; AIR BAGS; STRUCTURE. 49 CFR Part 579.5 Monthly Communications - March 2016 Air bag warning light illuminated with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B141B and/or B141C
LTR37562021-12-20. Service bulletin. FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM; AIR BAGS; ENGINE; STRUCTURE; POWER TRAIN; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. 49 CFR Part 579.5 Monthly Communications - January 2016
SSM 478362019-04-08. Service bulletin. FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL. Some 2011-2019 F-Super Duty 6.7L diesel equipped vehicles may exhibit a ticking/tapping noise traced to the reductant injector.
18M042019-03-04. Service bulletin. ENGINE. Certain 2011-2012 Model Year 6.7L F-450-F-550 Chassis Cab Vehicles Over 14K GVWR - NOx Sensor Extended Warranty Coverage
SSM 476412019-01-07. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE); ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE. Some 2011-2019 F-Super Duty, 2015-2019 Transit, 2016-2019 F-650/F-750 and 2018 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 6.7L, 3.2L or 3.0L engine may exhibit an illuminated MIL with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P207F, P20EE, P229F, P2201 and/or P24AE. This may be a result of using aftermarket cleaning liquids or tools for the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler or intake. Ford does not recommend the cleaning of diesel intakes or EGR coolers using any aftermarket tool that injects a cleaning foam or liquid substance into the EGR cooler or intake. Using these types of fluids can result in sodium poisoning of the NOx and particulate matter (PM) sensors resulting in degraded operation and permanent damage to the aftertreatment system. Use of these cleaning tools may void the emissions warranty of the hot end aftertreatment exhaust system and the attached emissions sensors.
17B30-S22018-09-10. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY; ENGINE. Certain 2012-2016 Model Year F-450 ? F-750 and F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis Vehicles Equipped with a 6.8L Engine Camshaft Roller Follower Replacement Coverage
SSM 470282018-06-11. Service bulletin. ENGINE. Some 2011-2018 F-Super Duty 6.7L diesel equipped vehicles may exhibit a ticking noise at idle after an engine oil change. It is often referred to as Typewriter Noise because of its similarity to the sound of a mechanical typewriter. When engine temperatures reach 150 Å?F (65 Å?C) or higher, (from engine idle up to approximately 1700 RPM's), this noise can typically be heard at the front wheel well and is often isolated to the transmission bell housing or oil pan area. Typewriter Noise is not detrimental to engine function or durability and has no short or long term effects on the engine. Do not attempt repairs to eliminate this noise. This noise is characteristic of the 6.7L diesel engine and will typically cease or diminish significantly within the oil change maintenance interval.
SSM 470282018-05-29. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Some 2011-2018 F-Super Duty 6.7L diesel equipped vehicles may exhibit a ticking noise at idle after an engine oil change. It is often referred to as Typewriter Noise because of its similarity to the sound of a mechanical typewriter. When engine temperatures reach 150 Å?F (65 Å?C) or higher, (from engine idle up to approximately 1700 RPM's), this noise can typically be heard at the front wheel well and is often isolated to the transmission bell housing or oil pan area. Typewriter Noise is not detrimental to engine function or durability and has no short or long term effects on the engine. Do not attempt repairs to eliminate this noise. This noise is characteristic of the 6.7L diesel engine and will typically cease or diminish significantly within the oil change maintenance interval.
SSM 468922017-12-14. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM. Some 2011 2014 SuperDuty vehicles equipped with 6.7L Diesel engine may experience an exhaust leak due to broken exhaust manifold studs. New parts have been released to service this condition. Replace the exhaust manifold on the side with a broken stud. On cylinders 1,2,3,5,6 and 7 use stud part number W715713-S431. If replacing the studs on cylinders 4 and/or 8 use stud part number W717172-S900 and replace both studs and install new spacers and heat shields on the affected side(s). Refer to Workshop Manual Section 303-01. Part numbers: Heat shield left side, FC3Z-9Y427-A and DC3Z-9A462-B for the right side. Spacer part numbers: FC3Z- 00810-A. Exhaust manifold part numbers: DC3Z-9430-A (RH) and DC3Z-9431-A (LH). Exhaust Manifold Gaskets: FC3Z-9448-A. Exhaust Manifold Nut: W701706-S430
SSM 464072017-03-20. Service bulletin. ENGINE. SOME 2011-2017 F-SUPER DUTY 6.7L DIESEL EQUIPPED VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A TICKING NOISE AT IDLE AFTER AN ENGINE OIL CHANGE. IT IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS TYPEWRITER NOISE BECAUSE OF ITS SIMILARITY TO THE SOUND OF A MECHANICAL TYPEWRITER. WHEN ENGINE TEMPERATURES REACH 150 ŒF (65 ŒC) OR HIGHER, (FROM ENGINE IDLE UP TO APPROXIMATELY 1700 RPM'S), THIS NOISE CAN TYPICALLY BE HEARD AT THE FRONT WHEEL WELL AND IS OFTEN ISOLATED TO THE TRANSMISSION BELL HOUSING OR OIL PAN AREA. TYPEWRITER NOISE IS NOT DETRIMENTAL TO ENGINE FUNCTION OR DURABILITY AND HAS NO SHORT OR LONG TERM EFFECTS ON THE ENGINE. DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS TO ELIMINATE THIS NOISE. THIS NOISE IS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE 6.7L DIESEL ENGINE AND WILL TYPICALLY CEASE OR DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY WITHIN THE OIL CHANGE MAINTENANCE INTERVAL.
SSM 462952017-03-15. Service bulletin. ENGINE. TO HELP DIFFERENTIATE ENGINE OIL LEAKS FROM OTHER POSSIBLE SOURCES, A NEW WHITE-COLORED FLUORESCENT ENGINE OIL DYE IS AVAILABLE. WORKSHOP MANUAL (WSM), SECTION 303-00 HAS BEEN REVISED TO REFERENCE THE NEW WHITE-COLORED DYE. THE NEW WHITE FLUORESCENT DYE PROVIDES A DISTINCT WHITE GLOW TO IDENTIFY ENGINE OIL LEAKS. THE NEW WHITE FLUORESCENT DYE REQUIRES A PURE UV DIAGNOSTIC INSPECTION LAMP. THE WHITE-COLORED FLUORESCENT DYE AND PURE UV LAMP ARE NOW IN THE ROTUNDA CATALOG. DYE AND LAMP PART NUMBERS.

TSB16-00982017-02-10. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN; ENGINE. SOME 2011-2016 F-SUPER DUTY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 6.7L DIESEL ENGINE THAT ARE PRIMARILY IN A STATIONARY OR OFF-HIGHWAY LOW SPEED USE MAY EXHIBIT FREQUENT EXHAUST REGENERATION ATTEMPTS, DRIVE TO CLEAN MAINTENANCE MESSAGES, THE WRENCH LIGHT ON AND/OR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P2459 FOR FREQUENT REGENERATION. IF REGENERATION ATTEMPTS ARE UNSUCCESSFUL, DTC P2463 MAY SET AS A RESULT OF SOOT ACCUMULATION IN THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF). VEHICLES OPERATED IN THIS MANNER MAY NOT EASILY ALLOW FOR NORMAL EXHAUST REGENERATION AND MAY BENEFIT FROM OCR CAPABILITY SO THE UNIT CAN PERFORM COMPLETE REGENERATION CYCLES IN A STATIONARY SETTING. FOLLOW THE SERVICE PROCEDURE STEPS TO CORRECT THE CONDITION.
