Known issues on the 2011 E-150. The federal recall record for this model year is clear. Owners have filed 23 complaints with NHTSA, and steering draws the most of them, ahead of the power train and the service brakes, the same handful of systems that carry the weight of a loaded van. Steering gear, transmission and brake hydraulics each have their own procedures, specifications, torque values and diagnostics in this manual, and the two V8s listed above are covered to the same depth.
