The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the driveline driveshaft. Here is what owners need to know.
The bolts that attach the rear driveshaft to the transfer case may become loose or damaged, which can result in separation of the driveshaft from the transfer case.
Driveshaft separation can result in a loss of drive power, or unintended movement while parked if the parking brake is not engaged, increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect and replace the driveshaft bolts, free of charge.
