- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)

- Manufacturer: XL Hybrids INC
- Reported: 2019\-02\-21

## What is wrong

XL Hybrids, Inc \(XL\) is recalling certain 2015\-2018 Ford Transit vehicles modified to be equipped with XL's electric hybrid system.  The cardan \(universal\) joint on the front driveshaft may fail, possibly causing the front driveshaft to detach.


## What can happen

If the front driveshaft detaches from the vehicle, drive power will be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.  The detached driveshaft may also create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash for following traffic.


## The remedy

XL will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front driveshaft with an updated one, free of charge. The recall began April 15, 2019.  Owners may contact XL Hybrid's customer service at 1\-833\-953\-5338.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
