2008 F250-550 Recall

Just seen on the news ford is recalling over 100,000 2008 model ford superdutys due to seat failure. A weld that holds the back of the seat to the seat base is cracking making the seat incompatible with rules and standards. Be on the look out for your recall notice.

Thanks for the heads up, my truck is in the shop so I called to see if they could knock this out why they have it.

That's nice.

That's just another reason I don't buy first model year stuff.

Then again, my Escape was no sure winner.

Thanks for the heads up.

I doubt that it's anything serious unless you get in a wreck. I am 6'2" and weigh 240 lbs. I never noticed the seat being weak or loose, so I suppose it's probably something they found when they examined a crashed truck.

2008 Ford F-250 VIN: 1FXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Currently, there are no listed recalls for your vehicle.
I guess I am either in the clear, or the recall hasn't made it on the myford.fordvehicles.com page yet.
