Ford Transit: Powertrain

Affects Ford Transit · 2015 — about 95 vehicles.

The hazard

Certain vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels may have been manufactured with defective rear drive axle shafts. Under certain conditions, these axles could fracture and break without warning. This could result in a loss of motive power or cause unintended vehicle movement when the transmission shift lever is placed in the Park position, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace both rear axle shafts.
