Vehicles Affected: Approximately 500 model-year 2017 Ford Super Duty F-450 and F-550 pickup trucks manufactured at the Kentucky Truck Plant between June 6, 2016, and Feb. 21, 2017, and at the Ohio Assembly Plant between Feb. 16, 2016, and Feb. 21, 2017
The Problem: Vehicles may experience a vibration in the driveline at speeds above 75 mph; the vibration could fracture the transmission or driveline components, leading to a loss of power while driving or unintended vehicle movement while the pickup is in Park if the parking brake is not in use. This increases the risk of a crash or injury.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the two-piece driveshaft with a three-piece driveshaft with two carrier bearings at no charge to the customer.
What Owners Should Do: Ford has not announced an owner notification schedule. Owners can contact the automaker at 800-392-3673 or go to www.safercar.gov to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
