| Details | Issue: On certain vehicles, the flexible coupling between the transmission and driveshaft may crack over time. If this happens, you may notice vibrations and noise from under the vehicle. If you continue driving with this problem, the driveshaft could separate, resulting in a loss of power to the wheels. If the driveshaft separates, and the parking brake is not used when parked, the vehicle could move suddenly. A driveshaft that separates can also cause damage to nearby components, including brake and fuel lines. Note: Cutaway chassis models with a 156" or 178" wheelbase are not involved in this recall. Safety Risk: A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, unintended vehicle movement could increase the risk of injury and/or a crash. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify vehicle owners by mail. A final repair is being developed. In the interim, the driveshaft flexible coupling must be replaced every 64,000 km until the final repair is available. If your vehicle has less than 64,000 km, there is no action needed at this time. If your vehicle has 64,000 km or more, Ford will instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the driveshaft flexible coupling. |
