Timing of Recall on 2008 SD

[lhrhodes]

Can anyone find specific dates for which TSB recalls were announced for the 2008 F250SD Job 1s? Specifically I am looking for the TSB for fuel stopper bracket. I *thought* the local dealer I was using at the time did it well over a year ago. My recollection is almost crystal clear since they kept the truck 3 days. No lie. While it was in, they did the seat bracket TSB and the Venturie T TSB. But I was still getting messages from Ford telling me the Fuel Stopper Bracket recall had not been performed. So I take the truck into my current dealer yesterday morning for the 30k service and inquire about the outstanding recall issue. Sure enough, the work was never done. I am trying to look back through my records and see when I originally took it in for the service. I'm thinking it was July or August 2008, but can't be certain. Anyone have a better idea when they came out. Much appreciated.

I have all the TSBs, but I can't tell which one you mean by that description. What was the complaint that caused the TSB to be issued?

Short bed fuel tank bracket to keep it in place in case of an accident.

Thanks, I thought that was the case.

That is correct...

Sorry, I wrote it wrong. I have all the TSB issued through June, 2009. If it was issued after that, I don't have it.

The only one applicable to 2008 6.4L that pops up when searching TSBs for "fuel+tank" is:
07-24-04 WATER IN THE FUEL TANK BEHIND REAR AXLE - 6.4L, 6.0L, AND 7.3L DIESEL ENGINE
which is not applicable to pickups.

So the one about the bracket for the shorty pickup fuel tank must have been issued after June?

Sorry so late responding, had a post typed up Friday and got called away for a death in the family and it never got sent. So here goes.

I did some research and found the following info, and subsequently, the answer for which I was searching. Maybe I am getting my acronyms (TSB, QVM, etc) mixed up... check it out nonetheless. Maybe someone else will find it useful.
