Steering May Lock Up

NHTSA #20E090000 · Steering · NHTSA notice

Reported December 9, 2020 · Icon Vehicle Dynamics, LLC

Potentially affected: 102 vehicles

Owners notified December 21, 2020

Defect description

Icon Vehicle Dynamics, LLC (Icon) is recalling all 05-UP FSD 2.5 Centerline Stabilizer Kits with part number 65050. The kits were sold as an accessory for certain 2005-2021 Ford F-250 4X4 and F-350 4X4 pickup trucks.

Manufacturer remedy

Icon will notify owners, and dealers will install a new shock assembly with a revised foam ring and steel support disc, free of charge. The recall began December 21, 2020. Owners may contact Icon customer service at 1-951-689-4266.

Incident: December 26, 2014 · Filed: February 9, 2015

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND JUST STARTED CLIMBING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS, WITH OUR F350 TOWING OUR TRAILER. WE NOTICED A STRANGE SOUND FROM THE TIRES AND DECIDED TO PULL OVER AT THE NEXT EXIT TO CHECK IT OUT. BEFORE REACHING THE EXIT, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE BLEW. WE HAD BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN TIRES ON OUR TRUCK THAT HAD 18,000 MILES ON THEM AND THE TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED AND DAMAGED OUR TRUCK BED WHICH CAUSED $10,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT MY HUSBAND WAS TRAINED WHAT TO DO IN SUCH SITUATIONS WHICH PREVENTED US HAVING AN ACCIDENT AS WE COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE TRAILER VERY EASILY. FORTUNATELY, THE TRUCK WAS STILL DRIVE-ABLE AFTER TAKING OFF A SUPPORT BRACKET AND PUTTING THE SPARE TIRE ON. AFTER GETTING TO A CITY WITH A TIRE STORE, WE ENDED UP PURCHASING 2 NEW TIRES SO THAT THE REAR AXLE HAD A MATCHED SET. WE PURCHASED THE SAME TYPE OF TIRE AS WE PREVIOUSLY HAD AS WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE. BUT AFTER READING REVIEWS AFTER BEING AT HOME, I'M WISHING WE LOOKED INTO OTHER OPTIONS. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN YOU ARE ON A TRIP, IT ISN'T THE BEST TIME TO RESEARCH TIRES. WE HAD THE TIRE SUBMITTED TO MICHELIN, BUT THEY ARE SAYING IT WASN'T A DEFECTIVE TIRE. GLAD WE HAVE INSURANCE TO FIX OUR TRUCK. *TR
