Driveline Engineering News Today

After calling back 300,000 units of the Transit for driveshaft separation in 2019, the Ford Motor Company is now recalling a handful of vans over the same problem. A total of 4,548 units built for the 2020 model year with AWD are affected, according to documents filed with the NHTSA.

Previously criticized for rusty undercarriage parts, the Ford F-150 pickup truck has been called back for a potential issue affecting a driveline component. As it happens, underbody heat and noise insulators may loosen over time, a condition that could fracture the driveshaft.
