- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2021270
- Manufacturer's number: 21S21
- Reported: 2021\-05\-07
- Component: Wheels
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 249

## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the flanges on the rear axle shafts may not be flat. As a result, the wheel nuts could loosen and the wheel studs could break. If this happens, a wheel could come loose or separate from the vehicle.

Note: This recall only affects vehicles with single rear wheels, a 4.10:1 axle ratio and aluminum alloy wheels.

Safety Risk:

A wheel separation could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that separates could also hit another person or vehicle.

Corrective Actions:

Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the rear axle shafts. The dealer will replace the rear axle shaft assembly, axle shaft mounting bolts, and rear wheel lug nuts, as necessary.
