NHTSA recall 21V011000
Power Train · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: An inadequate amount of lubricant in the rear drive unit may cause seizure of the rear drive axle.
Why it matters: If the rear drive unit seizes, there may be a loss of drive and/or a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will check the rear drive unit lubricant level. Axles found to have lubricant at the minimum level will be filled to the full level. Axles found to be below the minimum lubricant fill level will be replaced, free of charge. This recall began March 12, 2021.
