Known issues on the 2001 F-450 Super Duty. Eight recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers seat belts supplied by TRW, where a front outboard buckle may not fully latch and so may not restrain an occupant in a crash; two more concern the speed control deactivation switch and its habit of leaking or overheating into an underhood fire; a further campaign involves aftermarket replacement wheel hubs that can let a wheel separate. Owners have filed 23 complaints with NHTSA, led by the fuel system and followed by tires and service brakes. Fuel delivery, brake hydraulics and restraint procedures are covered here in detail.
