## What changed for the 2017 Ford F-150

| Years | What changed |
| --- | --- |
| 2017 | Raptor returns (450-hp 3.5L HO); second-gen PFDI 3.5L EcoBoost + 10R80 10-speed introduced (MERCON ULV fluid) |

## Known problems with the 2017 Ford F-150

5 of the 6 issues we track for the 2015-2020 generation are documented against the 2017 model year.

### Cam phaser rattle, 2017-2020 3.5L EcoBoost (major, widespread) (major)

Second-gen 3.5L EcoBoosts develop a loud 1-3 second knock/rattle on cold start as worn VCT cam phasers slap before oil pressure arrives. Ford first issued a PCM calibration (21B10), then extended coverage under Customer Satisfaction Program 21N12 (expired Jan 2023) replacing phasers with a redesigned part. Out of program, phaser replacement is a deep timing-cover job; unlucky trucks have needed it more than once. A class action was filed.

Ford CSP 21N12; PCM update 21B10. Typical cost: Free under 21N12 (expired) or powertrain warranty; $2,500-$4,500 out of warranty.

### 10R80 10-speed harsh shifting / clunk / CDF drum failure (major)

2017+ trucks with the 10R80 draw heavy complaints for harsh 1-3 and 7-8 shifts, clunks, hesitation, and occasional loss of drive. Root causes range from adaptive-learning software (fixed by reflash/relearn) to a failing CDF drum bushing that sheds friction material (TSB 22-2428) and requires transmission repair. A class action was filed; NHTSA has investigated but not recalled for shift quality.

TSB 22-2428 (CDF drum); multiple shift-quality TSBs. Typical cost: $0 (reflash/relearn) to $2,500-$4,000+ (CDF drum/rebuild out of warranty).

### Brake master cylinder leak, recall expanded to this generation (major)

The same master-cylinder defect recalled on 2013-2014 trucks was expanded to 2014-2017 F-150s with the 3.5L EcoBoost (20V-332, Ford 20S31) and again to 2016-2017 trucks (22V-150, Ford 22S11). Symptoms: low/long pedal, fluid warning, front-brake fade. Dealers replace the master cylinder (and booster if contaminated) free.

NHTSA 20V-332 / 22V-150. Typical cost: Free under recall.

### Frozen/inoperative door latches (recall) (moderate)

Water intrusion freezes the door-latch actuation cables in cold climates, so doors won't open, won't latch, or can appear closed and swing open while driving. Ford recalled 2015-2017 trucks (17V-652, Ford 17S33): dealers install water shields and inspect/replace cables free of charge.

NHTSA 17V-652 (Ford 17S33). Typical cost: Free under recall.

### Seat belt pretensioner fires (recall) (major)

In Regular Cab and SuperCrew trucks, front seat-belt pretensioners can throw excessive sparks when they deploy in a crash, igniting carpet/insulation and in some cases burning the truck. Ford recalled about 2 million 2015-2018 trucks (18V-568); dealers modify the B-pillar area with heat-resistant tape and shields free of charge.

NHTSA 18V-568 (Ford 18S27). Typical cost: Free under recall.

1 more issue is reported in other 2015-2020 years: 5.0L excessive oil consumption (2018-2020) (2018-2020 (5.0L V8)).

## About the Ford F-150

The Ford F-150 is America's best-selling vehicle, and the 2012-2025 span covers three mechanically distinct trucks. 5L EcoBoost twin-turbo, an engine that towed brilliantly but taught owners about intercooler condensation misfires and early timing-chain wear. 0L oil consumption (2018-2020).

5L PowerBoost full hybrid with Pro Power Onboard, and racked up a long but mostly software-fixable recall list. Across all three generations the bolt pattern is 6x135 with 150 lb-ft lug torque, wipers are 22 inches on both sides, and one Motorcraft FA-1883 engine air filter fits nearly every year, but oil specs, batteries, and transmission fluids changed repeatedly, which is exactly why owners look things up.

For how the specifications changed across every generation, see the [full Ford F-150 guide](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/f-150).
