Dearborn, MI – September 2, 2025 – Ford (NYSE:F) is recalling 103,174 2023-2025 Ford F-150 pickup trucks that may lose motive power or roll away when parked, increasing the risk of a crash and injury.
This is an expansion of a previous recall from December 2023.
Recall summary
Rear axle transfers the power from the engine to the rear wheels and holds them in place.
In the affected trucks, the bolts that connect the axle internal moving parts may break. This can result in a loss of motive power or allow the vehicle to roll away when parked with the parking brake not engaged.
Recall risks
A damaged rear axle may leave the vehicle stranded on the road, where it can get hit by oncoming traffic, or cause it to roll away when parked. Both situations can lead to an injury.
Warning signs
The drivers may notice clicking or rattling sounds coming from the back of the trucks.
Previous recall
Ford became aware of this problem with defective axles on their F-150 pickups in June 2022, which consequently led to a recall in December 2023.
However, later analysis revealed that trucks not affected by the first recall may suffer from the same problem.
Other Ford recalls
In August 2025, Ford recalled Bronco and Escape SUVs over a fire risk for the fourth time, with nearly 700,000 vehicles being affected on this occasion.
In July 2025, Ford recalled more than 800,000 vehicles that could have stalled due to a defective fuel pump.
The repair
The dealers will replace both the left and right rear axle assemblies with improved ones. This repair wil be free of charge.
The owners should receive their notifications between August 18, 2025 and May 22, 2026.
