Known issues on the 2013 E-150. The federal record holds five recalls for this year. Four of them come from wheelchair lift installers and cover platform mountings, cracked side plates and a lift cable that could contact a power lug; the fifth covers CNG cylinders on converted vans that could dislodge and leak. Owners have filed 19 complaints with NHTSA, weighted toward the power train and the engine, with one on steering. Transmission and engine procedures, torque values and diagnostics take up a substantial part of this manual.
