Ford Motor Company has issued a recall for certain 2023 model Ford Transit vehicles, designated under recall number 24V805000. The recall concerns an issue with the rear axle shaft attachment, specifically the use of incorrect bolts during repairs made under a previous recall numbered 24V-102.
The defect in the axle assembly could lead to the rear wheel locking up or potentially separating completely from the axle. Both of these ramifications pose serious risks as they could result in a loss of vehicle control or drive power. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may become prone to unintentional rolling while parked, all of which increase the risk of accidents.
Ford has devised a remedy plan to inspect the vehicles, replace incorrect bolts if necessary, and refill the differential fluid if needed. Importantly, this service will be offered to vehicle owners free of charge. The company plans to notify owners regarding the recall through letters expected to be mailed out on December 9, 2024. Customers who have acquired the 2023 Ford Transit models are strongly encouraged to contact Fords customer service at 1-866-436-7332 for further information. Fords specific number for this recall is 24S67. The company urges all owners to respond to this recall notice to ensure their vehicles are repaired to maintain safety.
