2022 FORD F-350 SD — Complaint #2047007
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STEERING:COLUMN filed December 10, 2024
NHTSA complaint #2047007 (ODI reference 11629901) concerns a 2022 FORD F-350 SD and was filed on December 10, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 10, 2024. The vehicle had 60,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Kentucky based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as steering:column, 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-350 SD cohort independently describe similar steering:column 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 2022 FORD F-350 SD shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-350 SD. The contact stated while pulling into the driveway approximately 5-10 MPH, the steering wheel separated and fell into the contact's lap. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the steering column needed to be replaced; however, the part was on a national backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered to partially pay for the replacement parts and for a rental. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
