Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Seats And Restraints

Transport Canada lists: F-250 Super Duty 2008 · F-350 Super Duty 2008 · F-450 Super Duty 2008 · F-550 Super Duty 2008

What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with an adjustable lumbar support and a 40/20/40 split bench seat or captain's chair bucket seat configuration, may have improper welds at the joint of the seat back pivot bracket and the seat back frame. If the weld fractures while the vehicle is in motion, the seat back may recline unexpectedly. The occupant could lose contact with the steering wheel or foot pedals during such an event, which could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will install a reinforcement to the seat back frame.

What is wrong

On certain trucks equipped with 6.4L diesel engines, insufficient clearance between the positive battery cable and the right hand splash shield bolt may result in wire chaffing damage and the risk of an electrical short. If this occurs, possible heat or fire damage to the cable and/or other components, either under-hood or near other possible ground points on the vehicle, may occur.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, reposition the positive battery cable.

What is wrong

On certain trucks equipped with 6.4L diesel engines, excessive temperatures in the diesel particulate filter may cause a visible flame out the tailpipe. Excessively hot exhaust or flames emitting from the tailpipe, in the presence of combustible material, may result in a fire, or may result in personal injury if a person is in close proximity to the tailpipe.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
