Known issues on the 2002 F-150. Eight separate recalls appear on the federal record. One covers fuel tank support straps that can corrode on trucks sold or registered in certain states; another is the speed control deactivation switch, which may smoke or burn after overheating; a third involves an aftermarket seven-way trailer adaptor wired incorrectly. Headlamp campaigns account for the rest. Owners have filed 957 complaints with NHTSA, with engine and engine cooling first, then the electrical system and vehicle speed control. Engine diagnostics, wiring diagrams and speed control procedures are where this manual meets those complaints.
