MY PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAS JUST FRACTURED, EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN YOUR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 11V0490000. THIS WAS A RECALL OF APPROXIMATELY 300,000 2009 AND 2010 F 150'S. WHEN I ENTER MY VIN ON YOUR SITE IT DOES NOT COME UP, HOWEVER I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. PERHAPS MY PRODUCTION DATE FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL DATES, HOWEVER MY TRUCK HAS THE EXACT SAME SAFETY ISSUE, AND ONLY HAS 18,000 MILES ON IT. COULD YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW TO PROCEED, AS I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED BY A FORD DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU.

THE FPDM WAS GOING BAD. THE TRUCK WOULD SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. TWICE IT DIED WHILE TURNING AND I COULDN'T STEER. ONCE ALMOST HAD ME IN THE BACK OF A PARKED CAR. THIS COST ME OVER 300 DOLLARS TO FIX. IT'S ONLY GOING BACD BECAUSE THE ARE MOUNTED TO THE STEEL GRAM AND THE ALUMINUM BACKING ON THE FPDM IS PITTING AND WATER IS GETTING IN. THIS PROBLEM ALSO MADE IT DIFFICULT TO START, AND MESSED WITH MY MPG.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. UPON INSPECTION, FUSE #27 BURNED OUT INSTEAD OF BLOWING. THIS FUSE CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP, AND WHEN IT BURNED UP THE FUEL PUMP LOST POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED. UPON RESEARCH IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2009-2014 YEAR MODELS AND FORD ISSUED A TSB BUT NOT A RECALL. I HADN'T KNOWN ABOUT THIS WHEN PURCHASING THE TRUCK USED, AND IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
