What's wrong, in plain English

Ford is recalling certain F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD, F-550 SD, F-600 SD, and F-750 Super Duty trucks that were previously repaired incorrectly under recall 24V957. Biodiesel deposits may build up on the fuel pump's drivetrain roller components, which could cause the high-pressure fuel pump to fail. A fuel pump failure can cause a loss of drive power. Dealers will update the powertrain control module software, at no cost to the owner.

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact your Ford dealer, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
3. The repair is free of charge.
