Ford Motor Company is recalling 18,808 of its 2017-2018 F-Super Duty F-250, F-350, and F-450 4x4 trucks. A part called a radial damper inside the driveshaft can move out of place over time, causing the driveshaft to become imbalanced and eventually snap or fracture. If this happens, the truck can lose power while driving or roll away unexpectedly when parked if the parking brake isn't set. Ford dealers will replace the entire driveshaft for free to resolve this safety issue.
A fractured driveshaft can cause an immediate loss of drive power while the vehicle is in motion, which increases the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake engaged, a broken driveshaft could allow the truck to roll away, posing a danger to people and property nearby.
