The 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty has multiple NHTSA notices that identify real safety risks — from potential ignition of carpet insulation after a seat-belt pretensioner deployment to transmission or axle issues that can cause unintended vehicle movement. Addressing recalls promptly reduces the chance of a fire, loss of drive, sudden steering lock, or unexpected tailgate release that could lead to a crash.
