Ford Motor Company is recalling 112,965 of its 2021-2023 F-150 vehicles equipped with the Trailer Tow Max Duty package and a 9.75-inch heavy duty axle. A bolt in the rear axle hub can fatigue and break, causing damage to the axle's internal components. This damage can cause the truck to roll away while parked if the parking brake isn't used or lead to a sudden loss of driving power. Ford dealers will replace the rear axle shaft assemblies on both sides of affected trucks at no cost to owners.
A broken axle bolt can damage the axle hub splines, which prevents the transmission from holding the vehicle in place when in 'Park.' This can cause the vehicle to roll away unexpectedly or lose power while driving, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
