Official summary
Some 2017-2019 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with adaptive steering may require steering wheel replacement for various reasons. The steering wheel assembly contains the steering effort control module (SECM) and steering angle sensor module (SASM). Previous software versions of the Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) scan tool may not have programed the SECM properly after replacement. Engineering has corrected the concern and SECM programming can now be successfully performed on these vehicles using the latest software level of IDS.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
