With a total of 65 campaigns and over 8.6 million recalled vehicles last year, Ford had more recalls in the United States than any other automaker, according to a recent report by the NHTSA. However, the Blue Oval company knows quality is more important than ever in the automotive industry these days and it is taking steps toward improving its build quality. That is especially true for the 2023 Super Duty, which undergoes a thorough quality review in the early production phase.
The Detroit Free Press recently met with engineers and quality inspectors from the 2023 Super Duty team, who told the publication the level of quality review is unprecedented. The company is currently looking at every inch of the truck and all engineers are invited to look at it with a fine tooth comb – from the front to the rear, from the exterior to the cabin, and from the engine to every harness and brake tube. A procedure that takes around three hours per vehicle.
