{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2022198","date":"2022-04-14","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Powertrain","summary":"Issue:\nOn certain vehicles, a mounting bolt for the rear axle housing could break. If this happens, the axle housing can move and cause clunking or banging noises and vibrations from the rear of the vehicle. It could also cause the driveshaft and axle shafts to disconnect. This would result in a loss of power to the rear wheels and the vehicle could move when the transmission is in Park, if the parking brake is not used.\n\nSafety Risk:\nA parked vehicle that rolls away could create the risk of an injury or a crash. A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.\n\nCorrective Actions:\nFord will notify owners by mail. For Police Interceptor Utility models, you will be instructed to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace a bushing and the rear axle housing cover. For all other models, you will be instructed to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the engine control module (PCM) software to set the parking brake when the transmission is in the Park position.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"22S27","part_number":null,"units":10607,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Groupe motopropulseur","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Problème :\nSur certains véhicules, un boulon de montage du carter de pont arrière pourrait se briser. Si cela se produisait, le carter pourrait se déplacer et causer des bruits sourds ou de choc et des vibrations à l'arrière du véhicule. L'arbre de transmission et les arbres d'essieu pourraient également se détacher. Il en résulterait une perte de puissance aux roues arrière, et le véhicule pourrait se déplacer lorsque la boîte de vitesses est en position de stationnement si le frein de stationnement n'était pas serré.\n\nRisques pour la sécurité :\nUn véhicule garé qui se met en mouvement pourrait créer un risque de blessure ou d'accident. Une perte de puissance aux roues pourrait augmenter le risque d'accident.\n\nMesures correctives :\nFord doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste. Pour les modèles Police Interceptor Utility, on demandera aux propriétaires d'amener leur véhicule chez un concessionnaire pour faire remplacer une bague et le couvercle du carter de pont arrière. Pour tous les autres modèles, on demandera aussi aux propriétaires d'amener leur véhicule chez un concessionnaire pour faire mettre à jour le logiciel du module de gestion du moteur (PCM) afin de serrer le frein de stationnement lorsque la boîte de vitesses est en position de stationnement."},"vehicles":[{"year":2020,"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER","vehicle_id":"2020_ford_explorer","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2021,"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER","vehicle_id":"2021_ford_explorer","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2022,"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER","vehicle_id":"2022_ford_explorer","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2020,"make":"FORD","model":"POLICE INTERCEPTOR UTILITY (EXPLORER)","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2021,"make":"FORD","model":"POLICE INTERCEPTOR UTILITY (EXPLORER)","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2022198"}
