Power train › Axle assembly › Axle shaft

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2025 E-Transit vehicles. The left rear axle half shaft may partially disengage from the power drive unit, which can result in a loss of drive power.

Risk: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. In addition, a half shaft that is not fully engaged to the primary drive unit can result in a vehicle rollaway if the parking brake is not applied, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

Fix: Dealer will inspect and replace the rear half shaft and power drive unit components as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 3, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25SD9.

Rear A/C stopped working at 8k miles. Took it in under warranty. They have zero motors in the U.S. and have not provided a solution. I can not safely transport our children or an elderly woman in 100 degree heat without A/C. They say it is still usable and will not guarantee to pay for rental.

The Ford dealer where I bought this vehicle denies that there is a safety recall for this vehicle. That is Christina, Service Depart, Auto Nation Ford, Littleton, Colorado This recall states that I should not drive the vehicle until the recall has been serviced. I am unable to get Ford to honor the recall.
