Equipment, Suspension Equipment recall #20E090000 · 2020 · 102 vehicles
What's wrong: 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. The foam ring inside the stabilizer "through shaft" May block the piston ports, possibly causing the steering to lock up.
Why it matters: If the steering locks, it can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: 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.
