Typical suspension symptoms owners report
- Owners describe a violent front-end shake or "death wobble" that starts after hitting a small bump or rise in the road, often at highway speeds between 50 and 75 mph.
- Several report the shaking only stops once they slow to roughly 25-40 mph, sometimes struggling to keep the truck in its lane.
- Steering wheel shudder is described alongside the wobble, with drivers in multiple cases losing steering control briefly.
- One owner reports a front tie rod adjusting sleeve pulling apart from the tie rod end due to stripped threads, leading to a near loss of control.
- Another owner attributes vibration at highway speed to Continental ContiTrac tires with tread ply separation and poor molding.
- Some incidents occurred while towing a trailer or fifth wheel, which owners say made the shaking harder to control.

Tires
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018 F-150, 2018-2020 F-250, F-350, and 2019 Escape vehicles equipped with Continental tires. On the affected vehicles, it is possible that one or more tires were cured for too long during tire production.
Risk: Over cured tires may develop a break in the sidewall, resulting in sudden air loss or belt edge separation which could lead to tread/belt loss. Either condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tires, and replace them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 21S10.
