FORD SUPER DUTY F

The FORDSUPER DUTY F appears in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database with 1 consumer safety complaints and 0 safety recalls across 1 model year (2000–2000). That averages roughly 1 complaint per model year, but the distribution is almost never even — most nameplates concentrate their defect reports in a handful of cohort years tied to specific platform refreshes, supplier changes, or component redesigns.

Complaint volume on a nameplate alone is not a reliability verdict: a long-running bestseller will accumulate more filings than a low-volume niche model simply because more of them are on the road. What matters is the year-over-year shape and the component concentration — which the table below isolates for the SUPER DUTY F by showing complaint count, crash count, fire count, and NHTSA safety rating side by side for each model year.

NHTSA has 177 investigation files tied to this model, with 8 currently open. Investigations precede recalls and signal that the Office of Defects Investigation is actively testing a theory about a specific component cluster. Together with the complaint-by-year breakdown and recall remedy status, they are the primary signals used by insurance actuaries, fleet managers, and used-vehicle appraisers when pricing FORDSUPER DUTY F risk. Compare this nameplate against siblings in the same platform family to see whether a given defect pattern is model-specific or shared across the parent architecture.
