247,000-Plus Ford Super Duty Trucks Recalled Over Driveshafts
Just a day after issuing a massive recall for its Mustang coupe, Ford is now looking to repair a sizable population of its Ford Super Duty F-250 and F-350 heavy-duty pickup trucks for a potentially damaged driveshaft.

Approximately 247,400 model-year 2017-22 Super Duty F-250 and F-350 pickups equipped with gas engines and aluminum driveshafts are affected. Underbody heat and noise insulators may loosen and contact the driveshaft, which could damage it and cause it to fracture. A fractured driveshaft can cause a loss of drive power or vehicle control if the driveshaft contacts the ground. Additionally, unintended movement could occur while parked if the parking brake is not engaged. Either situation increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect and repair the driveshaft, as necessary. They will also properly attach the underbody insulators. Both repairs will be done for free, and Ford will begin notifying owners April 4. For further questions, call Ford at 866-436-7332 (Ford’s number for this recall is 22S09), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
