16 NHTSA recalls · 7 owner complaints on file

Two steering recalls lead the 2020 F-350 — a stabilizer kit that can lock the steering and a separate loss-of-steering-control campaign. Driveline items are unusual here: a rear axle that may bend and allow the driveshaft to separate, plus a second driveshaft recall. Diesel trucks add fuel pump failures, a transmission part tied to stalling, and a Park-engagement defect. NHTSA lists seven unverified owner complaints spread across power train, fuel and diesel systems, with no crashes, fires or injuries.

Before you buy

  1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
  2. Have the rear axle and driveshaft inspected, especially if the truck has towed or hauled heavily
  3. Confirm both steering recalls were completed and check for play or binding in the wheel
  4. For diesels, ask about the fuel pump and transmission stalling recalls and any stall history
  5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
