    Ford Motor Co. is voluntarily recalling 37,400 Super Duty pickups, part of the automaker's top-selling F-Series, after dealers reported flames coming from the trucks' tailpipes, Bloomberg News reported.

    The recall covers 2008-model Super Duty trucks with 6.4-liter diesel engines built by Navistar International Corp., Ford spokesman Dan Jarvis said last Thursday. About 8,400 of the trucks were sold, and 29,000 more remain on dealer lots, he said.

    Dealers won't be able to sell the trucks until the pickups get a computer software update, and owners of recalled vehicles will bring them to dealerships for upgrades to be paid for by Ford, Jarvis said.

    Ford received reports from dealers in Texas and Canada about tailpipe flames, Bloomberg said. The Texas incident caused a small grass fire. L&MT

    Not only that, but they'll be dumping the 6.4L as soon as they get their own in house diesel built for the Superduty. I posted about ti in the concepts news area.
