Known issues on the 2006 F-150. Eight entries make up the federal recall record here. One concerns windshield wiper motors that may have left the plant without grease on the output shaft gear; another is the clockspring jumper wire that can chafe on the driver air bag horn plate; a third covers original-equipment Continental and General tires from a short production run. Aftermarket lamp campaigns account for the others. Owners have filed 589 complaints with NHTSA, led by the service brakes, engine and engine cooling, and steering.
