## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain trucks, the left\-rear axle shaft may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the axle shaft could break and cause a loss of power to the wheels. Additionally, if the truck is parked and the parking brake isn't applied, the truck could roll away.

Note: This recall only affects single rear wheel trucks with 10.5\-inch rear axle.

Safety Risk:

A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. A parked vehicle that rolls away could also create the risk of an injury or a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to inspect the left\-rear axle shaft, and replace it as necessary.
