The airbag located in the steering wheel has cracked the steering cover and is exposed. If this were to deploy prematurely or while driving it would pose serious safety risks. I have contacted Ford corporate in regard to this and their only suggestion was to take the vehicle to our dealer to have this replaced, at my own cost, which is missing the point of this needing to be reported and/or recalled as it appears to be a common problem with Ford trucks in online communities. It is a safety hazard and not a warrantied repair. As previously stated I have not taken to the dealership as I want it to be reported/recalled. There was no warning of this issue and it occured Saturday 6/10/23

DEATH WOBBLE : First time it happened. We were pulling a trailer; we had to come to a complete stop. We called the dealer that we bought the F-250 with a gas engine from; they did work on it that ended up costing us additional money. When the dealer fixed it supposedly it was under warranty. Now it is doing it again; so the warranty didn't fix it.This truck has around 15,000 miles on it now. Our son-in law was driving it about a month ago ; he hit a bump and it did it again. He had to slow way down or stop for it to quit the wobble. He had our grandkids with him. Ford needs to address this problem.
