Post-Crash Fire Risk Spurs Recall of Over 490,000 Ford Super Duty SuperCrew Trucks

Ford Motor Company is recalling select 2017-19 Ford Super Duty SuperCrew vehicles with carpet flooring due to the risk of a post-crash interior fire.

In affected vehicles, a front seat belt pretensioner that deploys during a crash can generate excessive sparks. In some cases, this could ignite the carpet or carpet insulation in the area of the B-pillar. A fire in the B-pillar area may spread within the vehicle and increase the risk of injury.

Ford is aware of one report in the U.S. of a fire related to this condition. The company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition.

The recall affects 490,574 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories, 56,112 in Canada, and 852 in Mexico. The vehicles were built at Kentucky Truck Plant from Oct. 8, 2015, to Oct. 29, 2019.

As needed, dealers will apply foil tape to the carpet and carpet insulation and modify the sound deadener on the back side of the B-pillar trim panel. The Ford reference number for this recall is 19S52.

NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V880000

Manufacturer Ford Motor Company
Components STRUCTURE, SEAT BELTS
Potential Number of Units Affected 490,574

TESTIMONIALS

Best law office ever! I have been going through a case and been smooth sailing from day one because of the amazing attorney and staff that has dedicated their time for me.
Tiffany Dalton
My family and I came to Terrell and Hogans office about 4 years ago after meeting with 3 other firms here in Jacksonville. My family and I suffered a great loss, our father. He was killed by a physician's negligence. Mr. Hogan's hard work and commitment changed the course of my family's life. We will all be eternally grateful for their passionate work and their personal dedication to do the right thing.
Aaron Cooper
I was referred to Joe by a family friend and reached out to him regarding a death in my family. After meeting with him on various phone conferences he was very passionate about helping me pursue my case and also very informative every step of the way in ensuring I was comfortable with all decisions. As the close to my case has come about I am very appreciative to have been able to work with Joe and the others at Terrell • Hogan.

Mr. Hogan was very helpful. He and his staff always called me back and kept me informed about my case. He did a great job for me and my family.
Former Client
Over a period of 3 years Chris worked on our case incurring several hundred thousand dollars in expenses for our case, yes hundreds of thousands of dollars in just expenses they paid for in advance, something we could have never done. I can't even imagine the number of hours Chris spent working on our case. In the end Chris finally reached the goal we all hoped for. Chris changed my family's life forever and selecting their firm to work with was a defining moment in my family's life.
