Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 18,648 of its 2021-2022 EcoSport vehicles. The front axle half shafts in these vehicles may disconnect from the transmission, which can lead to a sudden loss of drive power while the vehicle is in motion. To fix this issue, dealers will inspect the half shafts and replace them if necessary at no cost to the owner.

Risk

A disconnected half shaft can cause a sudden loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake engaged, a disconnected shaft could allow the vehicle to roll away, potentially causing injuries or accidents.

What You Should Do

  1. The recalled vehicles are 2021-2022 Ford EcoSport models where the front axle half shafts may become detached from the transmission.
  2. Contact an authorized Ford dealer to schedule a free inspection and, if necessary, a replacement of the front axle half shafts.
  3. Always apply the parking brake when the vehicle is parked to prevent the risk of a rollaway until the recall repair has been performed.
  4. Contact Ford customer service at 866-436-7332 and reference recall number 25S12 for more information.
  5. Call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for further assistance.
