5 Wiring problem of the 2004 Ford F-550

Failure Date: 04/29/2010

We purchased a Ford f550 6. 0l diesel truck new in 2004 and have been the only ones to drive it and have done proper care and maintenance of this vehicle. It has less than 40,000 miles on it. The vehicle would not start for no reason on April 29, 2010 necessitating it being towed to the local Ford dealership. They diagnosed a bad ficm (fuel injection control module) and replaced it. I have found there was a recall on this vehicle for this problem, campaign number 05v270000 on 6/10/05. Due to the low miles and proper care of this vehicle I am wondering if this problem is related to that recall. We use this in our work and had the ficm gone out while we were driving it with a load of chips it could have potentially been extremely hazardous.
