## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2026 F\-150 vehicles. Incorrect rear axle tail bearings may have been installed, which can result in rear wheel lock\-up or driveshaft separation.


## What can happen

Rear wheel lock\-up can result in a loss of vehicle control. Driveshaft separation can result in a loss of drive power, or a vehicle rollaway if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied. Either of these situations can increase the risk of a crash or injury.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the rear axle tail bearing, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 21, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S63. Vehicle Identification Numbers \(VINs\) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning September 14, 2026.
