In some of the affected vehicles, the rear axle mounting bolt may fracture during vehicle acceleration. A fractured rear axle bolt will allow the rear axle housing to move out of position, resulting in severe noise and vibration. If the rear axle bolt breaks, the driveshaft/half shafts may become disconnected, resulting in loss of transmission torque to the rear wheels which is necessary to hold the vehicle in park. If the parking brake is not applied, the loss of the primary park torque will allow the vehicle to roll in park increasing the risk of crash and injury.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10214129-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10214129-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10214129","components":[{"id":"suspension","name":"Suspension","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER","year_from":2020,"year_to":2022,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_explorer","2021_ford_explorer","2022_ford_explorer"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
