Yep...separate issues.

In addition to loose windshields, Ford also issued a recall Monday for its 2020 Super Duty for exaggerating the capabilities of its trucks, which could result in suspension problems and risk of injury.

Ford said it overstated payload capacity values on the tire and loading information label, accessory reserve capacity values on the safety certification label, and weight values on the truck camper loading documentation.

"If the vehicles are loaded to the payload stated on the tire and loading information label, they may exceed the gross vehicle weight rating or gross axle weight rating," Ford said. "This may result in tire loading beyond rated capacity, suspension overload and increased stopping distance, which could increase the risk of a crash."

The labeling recall affects 9,979 of 2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories and 1,750 in Canada. All were built at the Kentucky Truck Plant from May 13, 2019, to Sept. 19, 2020.

Ford said it is unaware of any accidents or injuries related to this situation.

The company will notify affected owners the week of March 22, and dealers will replace safety labels.
