## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2025 F\-Super Duty F\-650 and F\-750 vehicles.  The front axle tie rod assemblies may contain ball studs that have been incorrectly heat\-treated, which can cause them to break, and possibly result in tie rod failure.


## What can happen

Tie rod failure can cause a loss of vehicle steering control and increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the front axle tie rod assembly as necessary, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed August 14, 2024.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 24S42.
