What's wrong, in plain English

A part inside the driveshaft can move out of place over time. This can throw the driveshaft off balance, and it may eventually crack or break. If this happens, the vehicle could lose the power that turns the wheels. Also, if the parking brake isn't engaged, a parked vehicle could roll away on its own. Either situation raises the chance of a crash.

Official notice

Component: POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
Summary: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2017-2018 F-Super Duty F-250, F-350, and F-450 4x4 vehicles. A radial damper inside the driveshaft may move out of position over time, which can cause a driveshaft imbalance and result in a fracture.
Safety risk: A fractured driveshaft can cause a loss of drive power. Additionally, a vehicle rollaway could occur while parked if the parking brake is not engaged. Either of these scenarios increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the driveshaft, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 27, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S74.
