2004 FORD F-450 SD — Complaint #1019450
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:LPG SYSTEMS:TANK ASSEMBLY filed November 3, 2013
NHTSA complaint #1019450 (ODI reference 10550664) concerns a 2004 FORD F-450 SD and was filed on November 3, 2013. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 17, 2013. The report was geocoded to Virginia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:tank assembly, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-450 SD cohort independently describe similar equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:tank assembly failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2004 FORD F-450 SD shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
