Description of the problem	The exhaust gas temperature sensor (egt) #13 on my 2012 ford diesel f350 failed and immediately shutdown the truck in the middle of the tollroad at 65 mph. The problem subsequently endangered my vehicle, life, and response personnel. The truck would then not restart until an hour later. This same problem has been reported by many other ford diesel truck owners on the internet. Why in the heck would ford design an environmental interlock that supersedes the safety of drivers, families, and the public. It makes no sense, particularly since there are 4 exhaust gas temperature sensors. The computer should be making a comparative analysis of the 4 sensors. One bad faulty/unreliable sensor should not shut the truck down in the middle of the interstate with no reasonable warning, no failure information, no power, no control, or ability to restart. This terrible experience was scary. Ford has already issued a tech service bulletin for this egt sensor problem. If we did this same poor design in the chemical industry then flares and incinerator stack would shut down and vent gases directly to the atmosphere with no control of the process. Tell ford to fix the reliability of the their egt sensors, alter the program logic, and give drivers an alert or warning such that they have reasonable time to safely respond. If ford needs help with the design then contact me. I have 25 years experience in the chemical industry with expertise in process hazards analysis, projects, controls, environmental regulations, quality management, predictive and preventive maintenance, and reliability.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
