Ford Ecosport: Powertrain
Affects Ford Ecosport · 2021–2022 — about 273 vehicles.
The hazard
Issue: On certain vehicles, the front axle shafts may not have been installed properly. As a result, the front axle shaft(s) could become damaged and/or separate from the transmission, and cause a sudden loss of power to the wheels. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked and the parking brake isn't applied, the vehicle could roll away. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Safety Risk: A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. A parked vehicle that moves suddenly could create a risk of a crash or an injury. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the axle shaft(s).
