What's wrong, in plain English

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your truck is included. 2. Contact a Ford dealer to have the primary and secondary fuel filters replaced. You can also call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. 3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 22V013000.
