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)).

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.
