Automaker Ford recalls almost 42,000 F250, F350 trucks for safety
scrippsnews.com
U.S. automaker Ford has issued a recall involving potentially 41,555 trucks, including certain 2023 Super Duty F250 and F350 vehicles "equipped with single rear wheels and a 10.5-inch rear axle shaft," the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration said.
The NHTSA said the trucks the left rear axle shaft could have a defect caused in production that has the potential to cause it to break. A break could lead to a loss of drive power or cause the vehicle to roll away, even when it is put in park.
The agency says either of their hypothetical safety issue situations could cause an increase in a crash risk.

You'd figure they'd have that 10.5" axle down by now considering its barely changed in decades.
Must be them trying to cut costs.
I've worked in quality. Manufacturing defects can be caused at any time.
So do I and I realize that, but I'm going to give Ford shit when I can. They have been making basically that axle with little variation and few issues since the late 90's and not much changed from the 10.25 in the 80's.
