2021 Ford F-150 Recalls
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 23V896000
RECALL DATE: 2023-12-27
SUMMARY
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2023 F-150 vehicles equipped with the Trailer Tow Max Duty package and a 9.75-inch heavy duty axle with a 3/4 float axle design. The rear axle hub bolt may fatigue and break, which can result in damage to the axle hub splines.
CONSEQUENCES
Damaged axle hub splines can result in a vehicle roll away when the vehicle is in park without the parking brake applied or cause a loss of drive power. Both of these conditions can increase the risk of a crash.
REMEDY
The remedy is currently under development. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for an interim repair if they experience symptoms related to rear axle bolt breakage, such as a clicking or rattling noise. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk were mailed January 29, 2024. A second notice will be sent once remedy parts become available, anticipated 2nd Quarter 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23S65.
