The problem

The risk

If the driveline or transmission fractures, the vehicle may lose motive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driveshaft and two center bearing brackets, free of charge. The recall began May 18, 2017. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford recall number 17S08.
