Wheels on other F-350 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: 2015, 2016, 2020, 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.

Is this a known problem?

The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 5 service bulletins or notices for the 2017 Ford F-350 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.

What owners wrote

“On dual rear wheel setup. Galvanic corrosion between metal valve stem and aluminum wheel caused air to leak out resulting in an unsafe condition where unequal tire pressures between the inner tire and outer tire caused unpredictable situation under normal driving condition and would have multiplied under towing condition where added weight on tire would have decreased my response time in the event of a tire failure.”

“The VIN is from my tow vehicle, your system wouldn't take the VIN of my Fifth Wheel RV (4YDF37329J4700954) which the tire that failed is installed on. The tire in question was purchased in April of 2021 and had approximately 500 miles on it when the tread separated from the tire and became wrapped around the axle of the RV. The tire is a Sailun S637 ST235/80R16.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 1 of 67 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.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
