The existing recall 07V-553 (camshaft position sensor on Ford 1997-2003 F-Super Duty, E-series, and Excursion vehicles with 7.3L diesel engines) seems to be incorrectly narrow in scope. I have a 1996 F-350 with the same 7.3L diesel engine noted in the recall, and had the exact failure described in this recall. I had it repaired at a Ford dealership on Sept 21, 2007, and can provide complete documented information from that repair. Why did Ford not include F-series trucks that use the 7.3L engine (such as the F-350) in this recall" why is it limited to 1997 and newer" there are other vehicles out there on the road (such as mine) that have a similar potential to fail. This is a difficult problem to diagnose; the dealer could not determine the problem the first time I brought it in (January 2007). My problem went on for more than a year (with momentary power losses and engine stalls shortly after startup) before it progressed to serious drivable issues that were frequent enough they could be diagnosed by the Ford dealer. Camshaft sensor failure causes the engine computer to make the engine stall. Unfortunately, at that stage the drivable issues also become dangerous. I am seeking an expansion of this recall to cover all vehicles affected by the cam sensor failures, and reimbursement for the repair expenses I paid that should have been covered by this recall.

Intermittent shut down of the engine. Nearly re-ended when vehicle just stopped while going through an intersection. The camshaft posotion sensor (cps) failed. This is a well known problem that Ford has done nothing about. It's dangerous.
