NHTSA recall 23V128000
Power Train · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The front axle pinion may not have been heat-treated, which can cause it to fracture.
Why it matters: A fractured pinion can result in a loss of 4-wheel drive and may cause the front wheels to lock up, increasng the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the front axle pinion gear set. If there is a broken front axle pinion, the entire axle assembly will be replaced. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 21, 2023.
