Known issues on the 2000 E-450 Econoline Super Duty. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year, and both concern speed control. One covers a deactivation switch on gasoline and natural gas engines that may overheat and cause smoke or an underhood fire; the other is Ford's wider speed control campaign across many lines, with a vehicle fire possible whether or not the engine is running. Owners have submitted 43 complaints to NHTSA, mostly about tires, with service brakes and suspension far behind. Speed control wiring diagrams and diagnostics, with the brake and suspension procedures and specifications, map to that record.
