Ford has announced four new recalls, and three of them involve the F-150.
The largest campaign covers 223,472 F-150s from the 2023-2027 model years.
Those trucks may have fuel tanks that are not properly secured, so the tanks can leak or detach from the vehicle while driving.
Ford learned of the problem in July and blames front fuel tank strap T-slots that were not correctly inserted into the frame rail during assembly.
The automaker has received 16 warranty claims tied to the issue.
Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel tank straps as necessary, with notifications going out later this month.
Transit Vans and Two More F-150 Recalls
A second recall covers 1,945 Transit vans from the 2026 and 2027 model years.
Their wireless seat belt reminder system may not properly show when rear passengers are unbuckled.
The issue surfaced in July and was traced to a Magna End of Line test device whose status check command overlapped with the wireless seat belt reminder's pre-activated polling signal.
Ford says the problem caused a permanent error state and is aware of two field reports.
Dealers will inspect the rear seat belts and replace the buckles as needed, but a fix is not yet available, so affected vehicles are under a delivery hold.
A third recall affects 37 F-150s from 2026 that were built with incorrect rear axle tail bearings.
The rear wheels can lock up or the driveshaft can separate, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the tail bearings may seize after extended time in service.
The problem appears limited to a handful of vehicles with the max tow package, which should include a 9.75-inch tail bearing.
Ford found a rear axle with an 8.8-inch bearing in May, and dealers will replace it with the correct 9.75-inch component.
Notifications are scheduled for September 21.
The fourth recall involves the 2026 F-150 Raptor, where 17 trucks may have Panhard rod fasteners that were not properly tightened.
That can let the rod shift out of position and potentially cause a loss of control.
Ford blames an error-proofing device that was in bypass mode during production, leaving the company without torque data for some vehicles.
A February warranty claim over a rattle traced to a loose rear Panhard rod tipped Ford off, followed by a second claim in March.
Dealers will replace the Panhard rod fasteners with new ones and torque them to specification.
