Details

Issue: On certain vehicles, the recall repairs completed by a Ford dealer during recall 22S27 (Transport Canada recall number 2022-198) may not address all safety risks.

As a result, a second repair is required.

On certain vehicles, a mounting bolt for the rear axle housing could break.

If this happens, the axle housing could move and cause clunking or banging noises and vibrations from the rear of the vehicle.

It could also cause the driveshaft and axle shafts to disconnect.

This could result in a loss of power to the rear wheels.

Also, if the previous recall was not completed, the vehicle could move when the transmission is in Park, if the parking brake is not used.

Safety Risk: A parked vehicle that moves suddenly could create the risk of an injury or a crash.

A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the subframe bushing and rear axle bolt.

The dealer will also inspect the rear axle cover, and replace it as necessary.
