Ford has announced a recall of 112,965 F-150 pickup trucks due to a potential safety risk associated with the rear axle hub bolt. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reported that the bolt can become a rollaway risk if it sustains damage.
As per CNN, owners of F-150 vehicles with model years 2021 through 2023 are advised to take immediate action.
Axle Bolt Concern
According to the NHTSA, the affected F-150 vehicles are those equipped with the Trailer Tow Max Duty package and a 9.75-inch heavy-duty axle with a 3/4 float axle design. According to USA Today, the agency warned that the rear axle hub bolt may experience fatigue and break, damaging the axle hub splines.
This damage can result in a vehicle rollaway while in park without the parking brake applied or even a loss of drive power.
The NHTSA has emphasized that these issues significantly increase the risk of a crash. A fix to address this safety concern is currently under development.
F-150 owners are advised to pay attention to any clicking or rattling noises associated with the rear axle bolt, which may indicate an issue. In such cases, owners should immediately take their vehicle to a dealership for an interim repair.
Recall Process
Owner notification letters regarding the recall are scheduled to be mailed on January 29th. The letters will instruct F-150 owners on how to proceed, especially if they experience symptoms related to rear axle breakage.
In the meantime, Ford has assured customers that they can contact their customer service at 1-866-436-7332 for further assistance. The recall number for this specific issue is 23S65.
This recent recall follows Ford's recall of over 870,000 full-sized F-150 trucks last year. That recall was due to an unexpected engagement of the electronic parking brake, even while the vehicle was in motion. This issue raised concerns about potential loss of control and crash risk.
Ford spokespersons have confirmed that the company is actively working on rectifying the situation and will provide updates to both dealers and customers soon.
