2022 Ford F-550 Super Duty

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 F-550 Super Duty.

The 2022 Ford F-550 Super Duty carries a modest tally of nine total owner complaints, with the electrical system and lane-departure features emerging as the most frequently cited concerns. Those issues sit alongside a notably higher count of twelve recalls for the model year, a volume that stands out against the relatively low complaint volume. Together, the figures suggest a model year where manufacturer-identified defects outpaced owner-reported problems, a pattern that researchers typically treat as a signal to scrutinize recall completion rates and dealer service records when assessing long-term reliability.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

From 2009 through 2013, the F-550 maintained a consistent record of three recalls annually with zero consumer complaints, followed by a decrease to one recall in 2014. In contrast, the 2022 model year marks a departure from this trend, showing an emergence of specific consumer complaints. Reported issues for 2022 include the diesel fuel system and multiple electrical system failures involving the engine and lane departure systems. While there are no crash complaints for 2022, the record does include one reported fire complaint. Because the 2022 model shows a rise in electrical and fuel system complaints compared to the zero-complaint streak of the earlier recorded years, this is not the ideal year to buy.
