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.
Damaged axle hub splines can result in a vehicle rollaway 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.
Dealers will replace the left and right rear axle shaft assemblies, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk were mailed January 29, 2024 and again on June 12, 2024. A second notice will be sent once remedy parts become available, anticipated 1st Quarter 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23S65.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
