Ford has initiated a recall for 112,965 F-150 pickup trucks over concerns related to a rear axle hub bolt, which poses a risk of the vehicle rolling away if damaged.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) specified that the recall applies to F-150 vehicles from model years 2021 through 2023 that are equipped with the Trailer Tow Max Duty package.
According to the agency, the rear axle hub bolt could experience “fatigue and break, which can result in damage to the axle hub splines.”
This damage, in turn, “can result in a vehicle roll away when the vehicle is in the park without the parking brake applied, or cause a loss of drive power,” increasing the likelihood of a crash, as noted by the NHTSA.

A remedy is currently in development, and F-150 owners are advised to visit a dealership for an interim repair if they detect a clicking or rattling noise associated with the rear axle bolt.
Letters notifying F-150 owners of the recall will be sent out at the end of January.
Additionally, concerned individuals can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332, referencing recall number 23S65.
It’s worth mentioning that last year, Ford recalled over 870,000 of its full-sized F-150 trucks due to concerns about the electronic parking brake engaging unexpectedly, potentially leading to a loss of control and a crash.
A Ford spokesperson mentioned that the company is actively working on a fix, which will be communicated to dealers and customers in the near future.
