Ford F-250 SD (2020) Recall: Fractured Driveshaft Risk
Ford recalls 2020 F-250 SD vehicles with aluminum driveshafts due to potential driveshaft fracture from loose underbody insulators, risking loss of control or crash. Owners must have dealers inspect and repair free of charge.
A fractured driveshaft can cause a loss of drive power, or a loss of vehicle control if the driveshaft contacts the ground. Additionally, unintended movement could occur while parked if the parking brake is not engaged. Any of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
