Wheels on other F-250 Super Duty years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2014, 2016, 2020, 2021, 2022.
What this problem usually is
This sheet gathers complaints about the parts that meet the road: tires that wear out early or blow out, wheels that crack or bend, lug nuts that come loose, and wheel bearings that start to hum. The median mileage owners give is about 21,000, among the lowest on the site, so many of these are fairly new cars.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the wheel (29 reports) and the tires (25 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on the wheels covers the 2017 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.
When it happens
The middle half of failures fell between 19,000 and 40,000 miles, from the 63 reports that gave a mileage.
Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 5 service bulletins or notices for the 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
Some 2017-2020 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels (DRW) and 17 inch aluminum wheels may exhibit a loss of tire pressure from the valve stem sealing area of the front wheels.
Some 2017-2019 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) may exhibit a leak at the tire valve stem. The tire valve stem has been released as a separate service part kit.
Some 2017-2018 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) may exhibit a leak at the tire valve stem.
DURING PRE DELIVERY INSPECTION (PDI), 2017 F-SUPER DUTY VEHICLES WILL EXHIBIT AN ILLUMINATED LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT AND LOW TIRE PRESSURE READOUTS IN THE MESSAGE CENTER (IF EQUIPPED) FROM THE FACTORY.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 72 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
