Super Duty | 2018 | Kentucky Truck | May 2, 2017 through January 30, 2018 |
US population of affected vehicles is 18,802. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, the Internal Radial Damper (IRD) may move out of design position over time. This may cause driveshaft imbalance and produce noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH) symptoms. If unaddressed, the driveshaft may fracture. A fractured driveshaft may result in loss of motive power while driving, unintended vehicle movement while the vehicle is in park if the parking brake is not applied and may result in secondary damage to surrounding components. A fractured driveshaft increases the risk of injury or crash.
SERVICE ACTION

NOTE: A new driveshaft is required, if the driveshaft is dropped.
NOTE: The maximum articulation of any U-joint is 15 degrees. If any U-joint of the driveshaft is articulated further then the maximum allowable degrees damage may occur.
NOTE: Driveshafts should be supported so that each section of the driveshaft is parallel.
NOTE: Driveshafts should be supported to ensure center slip mechanism doesn’t pull out of slip boot or over articulate the joint.
NOTE: If a bearing cup becomes detached from an open joint that falls to the ground, it must be discarded and replaced with a new cup assembly.

Chronology
Subject: Ford Motor Company (Ford
) Recall No. 22S74 – Certain 2017-2018 model year F-250 F-350 and F-450 vehicles with a 176” wheelbase 4×4 and a 4.1 or 4.3 rear axle ratio driveshaft may fracture.
June 2022
On June 1st, 2022, NHTSA’s Office of Defect Investigations (ODI) contacted Ford’s Automotive Safety Office (ASO) regarding a Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) that alleged a driveshaft fracture on a 2017MY 6.7L 176” wheelbase F-450. The owner stated to NHTSA that they believed their vehicle should have been included in a separate safety recall (17S08) that addressed a driveshaft natural frequency condition that was unique to a 6.8L gas, 4×4, 208” WB vehicle configuration. This report was reviewed within Ford
’s Engineering groups, whose initial finding was that this VOQ was unrelated to 17S08 but could instead be related to an earlier internal radial damper (IRD) warranty concern. Ford
ASO conducted a preliminary search of field data and identified 16 similar driveshaft fracture reports on similarly equipped vehicles.
July – November 2022
Based on that initial investigation, ASO introduced this concern to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) on July 14, 2022, to further investigate the scope, rate, and potential effect on vehicle for the IRD concern. CCRG’s investigation found that most driveshaft replacements from the IRD concern were a result of NVH complaints and did not allege a fractured drive shaft. A smaller amount of claims resulted in a driveshaft replacement due to a driveshaft fracture. CCRG’s investigation continued to better understand the reports of driveshaft fracture. Data analysis found an elevated number and rate of reports pertaining to specific rear axle ratios with higher driveshaft rotational speeds. Ford
Engineering groups reviewed the data analysis and explained that vehicles with a 4.1 or 4.3 rear axle ratio operate with a higher driveshaft rotational speed and would be more likely to experience IRD movement and potential driveshaft fracture.
As of October 17th, 2022, there have been 63 global reports of IRD induced driveshaft fractures on the subject vehicle configurations with a 4.1 or 4.3 rear axle ratio.
On November 18, 2022, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.

July 2023 Ford Motor Company Ford Customer Service Division P. O. Box 1904 Dearborn, Michigan 48121 1904 * * * IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL * * * Safety Recall Notice 22S74 / NHTSA Recall 22V880 2017 F-450 Ford Truck Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Ford Motor Company has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in your vehicle, with the VIN shown above. We apologize for this situation and want to assure you that, with your assistance, we will correct this condition. Our commitment, together with your dealer, is to provide you with the highest level of service and support. What is the issue? On your vehicle, the Internal Radial Damper (IRD) may move out of design position over time. This may cause driveshaft imbalance and produce noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH) symptoms. If unaddressed, the driveshaft may fracture. What is the risk? A fractured driveshaft may result in loss of motive power while driving, unintended vehicle movement while the vehicle is in park if the parking brake is not applied and may result in secondary damage to surrounding components. A fractured driveshaft increases the risk of injury or crash. What will Ford and your dealer do? Parts are now available to repair your vehicle. Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to inspect the driveshaft part number, and if your vehicle does not pass, replace the driveshaft free of charge (parts and labor). How long will it take? The time needed for this repair is less than one-half day. However, due to service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period of time. Additional time may be required to allow the engine to cool prior to performing this repair. In addition, your vehicle will require an inspection to determine if parts need to be ordered. What should you do? Please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for Recall 22S74. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which is printed near your name at the beginning of this letter. Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this safety recall. You should contact your dealer for an appointment to have your vehicle remedied as soon as practicable. If you do not already have a servicing dealer, you can access ford.com/support for dealer addresses, maps, and driving instructions. Ford Motor Company wants you to have this safety recall completed on your vehicle. The vehicle owner is responsible for making arrangements to have the work completed. Please note: Federal law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days. © Copyright 2023 Ford Motor Company 03651 22S74 PA/DTB122S741 1 of 4 A/1/000001/1 771021989955 A/1/000001/1 JOHN A.

In addition, there are other features such as reserving parking in certain locations and controlling certain functions on your vehicle (lock or unlock doors, remote start) if it is equipped to allow control. Have you previously paid for this repair? If you have previously paid for a repair that addresses the issue described in this letter, you still need to have this recall performed to ensure the correct parts were used. You may be eligible for a refund of previously paid repairs. Refunds will only be provided for service related to driveshaft replacement. To verify eligibility and expedite reimbursement, give your paid original receipt to your dealer. Refund requests may also be sent directly to Ford Motor Company. To request your refund from Ford, send the refund request with all required documentation, including your original repair receipt (no photocopies), to Ford Motor Company at P.O.

Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists. REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL In some of the affected vehicles, the Internal Radial Damper (IRD) may move out of design position over time. This may cause driveshaft imbalance and produce noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH) symptoms. If unaddressed, the driveshaft may fracture. A fractured driveshaft may result in loss of motive power while driving, unintended vehicle movement while the vehicle is in park if the parking brake is not applied and may result in secondary damage to surrounding components. A fractured driveshaft increases the risk of injury or crash. SERVICE ACTION Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to inspect the driveshaft part number on the vehicle, and if necessary, replace the driveshaft per the technical instructions. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of July 31, 2023. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter. PLEASE NOTE: Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $26,315 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

REPLACED FSA PARTS INSPECTION AND SIGN OFF Effective March 1st, 2021, all parts replaced as part of an FSA repair with a repair order open date of March 1st, 2021, or later must be inspected and signed off on the repair order by a member of your dealer fixed operations management team or an employee of the task has been delegated to. If the task is to be delegated to a non-management employee, the employee needs to be someone other than the technician who completed the repair and needs to understand the importance of completing this task consistently and accurately. • All parts replaced as part of an FSA repair should be returned to the parts department following the Warranty Parts Retention and Return Policies. • Inspect the replaced parts to verify the FSA repair was completed. • If the FSA repair is found to be complete, the designated employee signs the repair order line or parts return stamp area (electronic or hand signed) for the FSA repair indicating the parts were inspected and validated to have been replaced. • After the parts have been inspected, they should be handled based on the guidance in the parts status report in the Online Warranty System (Hold, Return, CORE, Scrap, etc.). Please visit FMCDEALER > PARTS & SERVICE > WARRANTY ADMINISTRATION & WARRANTY PARTS RETURN for the latest Immediate Scrap List information. • This process is subject to review during warranty audits for FSA repairs with a repair order open date of March 1st, 2021, or later.

Note: Other approvals (electronic or handwritten) for add-on repair lines, dealer-owned vehicle repairs, and repeat repairs do not qualify as FSA parts inspection approvals. The post-repair FSA parts inspection process (electronic or handwritten) is independent of other warranty approval requirements. The approval by the designated employee implies that the FSA parts were found to be replaced and must be able to be identified on the Repair Order. If multiple FSAs require approval on a single Repair Order, each applicable occurrence will require individual post-repair approval by the designated employee.

dealers are in the best position to quickly and efficiently process reimbursement requests. However, federal legislation requires all motor vehicle manufacturers to establish processes through which customers may seek recall reimbursement directly from the manufacturer or the dealers. Regarding the specific reimbursement plan for Recall # 22S74, owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed before August 18, 2023. After this date, if repairs related to this recall are performed by a non-Ford repair facility in an emergency, customers must submit any refund requests through their dealership. As required by this federal regulation, Ford Motor Company submitted the details of its latest General Recall Reimbursement Plan in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in May 2021. The following is the text of that letter and the Plan: General Recall Reimbursement Plan (As submitted to the NHTSA) Under the requirements outlined in 49 CFR Part 573 and Part 577 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Ford Motor Company (Ford) is submitting the required information about our general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners before they are notified of a related safety recall. Set forth below is Ford’s general plan to reimburse owners and purchasers for costs incurred for remedies in advance of notification of potential safety-related defects or noncompliance according to Part 573.6 (c)(8)(i). This plan has not changed since our February 20, 2019 submission. Reimbursement Notification Ford’s notice to a vehicle owner in accordance with 49 CFR Part 577 will indicate that Ford is offering a refund if the owner paid to have service to remedy the defect or noncompliance before a specified ending date. In accordance with Part 573.13 (c)(2), this ending date will be defined as a minimum of ten calendar days after the date on which Ford mailed the last of its Part 577 notifications to owners, and will be indicated in the specific reimbursement plan available to owners for an individual recall. This notice will direct owners to seek eligible reimbursement through authorized dealers or, at their option, directly through Ford at the following address: Ford Motor Company P.O. Box 6251 Dearborn, MI 48121-6251 Ford notes that this rule allows for the identification of a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility. Under the rule, an owner who paid to remedy the defect or noncompliance before the identified beginning date would not be eligible for reimbursement. Ford generally has not established such a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility and does not presently anticipate changing this general policy. However, in any case, where Ford determines a beginning date is appropriate, Ford will indicate that date in the owner’s notice. As permitted by 577.11(e), Ford may not include a reimbursement notification when all vehicles are well within the warranty period, subject to approval by the agency. Version 04-23-19 Costs to be Reimbursed For vehicles, reimbursement will not be less than the lesser of: • The amount paid by the owner for the remedy that specifically addressed and was reasonably necessary to correct the defect or noncompliance that is the subject of the recall, or • The cost of parts for the remedy (to be no more than the manufacturer’s list retail price for authorized part(s), plus associated labor at local labor rates, miscellaneous fees (such as disposal of waste), and taxes. For replacement equipment, reimbursement will be the amount paid by the owner for the replacement item (limited by the amount of the retail list price of the defective or noncompliant item that was replaced, plus taxes, where the brand or model purchased by the owner was different from the brand or model that was the subject of the recall). If the item of motor vehicle equipment was repaired, the reimbursement provisions identified above for vehicles will apply. Ford notes that costs incurred by the owner within the period during which Ford’s original or extended warranty would have provided for a free repair of the problem will not be eligible for reimbursement, as provided by Part 573.13 (d)(1). Entities Authorized to Provide Reimbursement Ford will continue to use authorized dealers to reimburse owners under the specific reimbursement plans for a particular recall and will encourage owners to pursue requests for reimbursement directly through dealers to expedite reimbursement. Ford will also provide a mailing address to which customers can, at their option, send requests for reimbursement directly to Ford, as previously noted. Requests for reimbursement sent directly to Ford may take up to 60 days to process. Whether the owner chooses to pursue reimbursement requests through a dealer or directly through Ford, the owner will be directed to submit the required documentation, upon which reimbursement eligibility will be determined. Required Documentation The reimbursement determination will depend upon the information provided by the customer. Consistent with Part 573.13 (d)(4) the following information must be submitted: • Claimant’s name and address. • Vehicle make, model, and model year. • Vehicle identification number (VIN) and, for replacement equipment, a description of such equipment or, for tires, the model, size, and TIN (DOT code). • Identification of the recall number (either the Ford recall number or the NHTSA recall number). • Identification of the owner of the recalled vehicle at the time that the pre-notification remedy was obtained. • An original receipt for the pre-notification remedy that includes a breakdown of the amount for parts, labor, other costs, and taxes, including costs for the replacement item. Where the receipt covers work other than to address the recall or noncompliance, Ford may require the claimant to separately identify costs that are eligible for reimbursement. • If the remedy was obtained during the warranty period, documentation indicating that the warranty was not honored or the warranty repair did not correct the problem related to the recall. Failure to submit all of the above information may result in the denial of the reimbursement request. Version 04-23-19 Additional Information The Part 577 required owner notice will provide a toll-free telephone number through which specific information about the reimbursement plan can be requested from Ford. This general reimbursement plan will be incorporated into notifications according to Part 573.6 by reference. Information specific to an individual recall also may be incorporated into the Part 573.6 notification.
