Ford recalls heavy-duty pickups whose drive shafts can fracture
(CBS News) -- Ford is recalling nearly a quarter-million heavy-duty pickup trucks in the U.S. because the driveshafts can fracture and cause a loss of power.
The recall covers certain F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups from the 2017 through 2022 model years. The trucks have gasoline engines and aluminum driveshafts.
Ford says in documents posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that heat and noise insulators below the body can loosen, and touch the drive shaft. The shaft can fracture, causing a power loss, or loss of control if it hits the ground.
