There are 5 owner-reported fuel system complaints for the 2013 Ford F-350in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
My 2013 F-350 Super Duty 6.7 Diesel truck has a problem with the DEF system and power loss. I had a check engine light come on, and an AutoZone scan shows a P20BA Power Train System and a few other codes were noted (see attached documents). I took it to my selling dealer, and they confirmed the Reductant Heater needs to be replaced. I found out there is a recall for this defective part on just about every Ford F-Series 6.7 Diesel "except" my specific year and model. The recall on all of the other F-Series trucks have the same defective part as my truck has. Why is Ford getting away with this. If the part installed in my truck is the same defective part that is being replaced on all of the other trucks, why is my truck not included in the recall, it is the same defective part. It is costing me over $1,700.00 to replace a known to Ford and NTSB, a defective part. I would think Ford should be ordered to include my truck in the recall or replace at cost of parts only and not the full-blown excessive charge I am having to pay. PLEASE HELP

ENGINE FIRE - WHILE TRAVELING AT 55MPH AND TOWING A FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER ON THE INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE INDICATED "LOW FUEL PRESSURE" ON THE DASH PANEL. A FIRE ERUPTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SENDING SMOKE INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. AFTER STOPPING, THE FIRE SPREAD TO THE REMAINDER OF THE TRUCK AND THEN CAUGHT THE FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER ON FIRE. BOTH THE TRUCK AND THE FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER WERE DESTROYED IN THE FIRE. I BELIEVE THAT A DIESEL FUEL LEAK CAUSED THE FIRE AND RESULTING DAMAGE. BECAUSE THIS FIRE OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, IT LED TO A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.
I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT ABOUT 25 MPH AND THE ENGINE QUIT, AND WOULD NOT RESTART!! ALSO THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD ALLOW THE STARTER TO STAY ENGAGED!! HAD TO TURN THE KEY OFF FOR THE STARTER TO STOP!!
