The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the driveline driveshaft. Here is what owners need to know.
An inadequate amount of rear axle lubricant may cause rear axle tail bearing damage and seizure, which can result in wheel lock-up or driveshaft separation.
Wheel lock-up or driveshaft separation can result in a loss of drive power. A disconnected driveshaft can also result in a roll away when the vehicle is in park without the parking brake applied.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the rear axle, and replace the axle bearings or axle assembly as necessary, free of charge.
