Dealerships will replace the rear axle shaft assembly at no cost to the owners.
Ford Motor Company has announced a recall of over 103,000 F-150 pickup trucks due to faulty axle hub bolts. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has warned that these bolts can fatigue and break, potentially causing the vehicle to roll away when the parking brake is not applied or leading to a loss of driver power. Both conditions can increase the risk of a crash [1].The issue affects certain F-150 trucks produced between January 2, 2023, and May 21, 2025 [1]. Ford has stated that owners of affected vehicles will be notified by mail between August 18 and May 22, 2026, and can take their F-150 to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have the rear axle shaft assemblies replaced free of charge [1]. The recall number is 25S82.
This recall comes amidst a series of recent recalls for Ford vehicles, including issues with engine stalling, rear window bar detachment, and rear door locking problems [2]. Despite the recall, Ford's stock price gained fractionally in trading on Tuesday, indicating that investors are not overly concerned about the impact on the company's financial health.
Ford has also recently announced a $5 billion investment in its production facilities and the launch of a new electric pickup truck in 2027, which will start at $30,000 [2]. The company is positioning its affordable electric lineup to compete with Chinese automakers in the market.
