What Happened
Your Ford F-550, E-350, or E-450 might have a problem with the rear axle differential fluid level. This fluid helps keep your vehicle's rear axle running smoothly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rear axle fluid level is too low, the rear axle could fail, causing your driveshaft to break. This could make your vehicle lose power, and if you're not in park, it could move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Free Fix
Ford will fix this for you free of charge. They'll check the rear axle differential fluid level, add it if it's low, or replace the rear axle if it's damaged. Just schedule an appointment with your local dealership.

Manufacturer
Ford Motor Company
What Happened
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018-2020 F-150 and 2019-2020 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty pickup trucks, and 2018-2019 Ford Explorer, 2019-2020 Expedition, and 2020 Escape vehicles equipped with driver and/or passenger's manual front seat back recliner mechanisms. Also included are certain 2020 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with rear outboard seats and manual seat back recliner mechanisms. The recliner mechanisms may be missing the third pawl required for seat back strength, resulting in a loose seat back. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 202, "Head Restraints" and 207, "Seating Systems."
Risk if Unfixed
A seat back with an improperly assembled recliner mechanism may have reduced strength and may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Free Fix
Ford will notify owners, and Ford and Lincoln dealers will inspect the seat structure and replace them, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 21, 2019. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19C07.
