Safety Recall 21S56 – Loose/Sagging Underbody Insulators – 2021-2022 Ford F-150

“This site contains affiliate links for which OEMDTC may be compensated”

December 16, 2021 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 21V986000

Damaged Driveshaft May Fracture

A fractured driveshaft can cause a loss of drive power, or a loss of vehicle control if the driveshaft contacts the ground. Additionally, unintended movement could occur while parked if the parking brake is not engaged. Any of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

 

NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V986

Manufacturer Ford Motor Company

Components POWER TRAIN, STRUCTURE

Potential Number of Units Affected 184,698

 

Summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2022 F-150 vehicles. Underbody heat and noise insulators may loosen and contact the aluminum driveshaft, which could damage the driveshaft and cause it to fracture.

 

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and repair the driveshaft as necessary, and properly attach the underbody insulators, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 4, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s number for this recall is 21S56.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD – Safety Recall 21S56 – Supplement #7
Certain 2021 – 2022 Model Year F-150 Vehicles Equipped with Crew Cab, 145” Wheelbase, 4×4, 302a & Above Option Package, and One-Piece Aluminum Driveshaft Loose/Sagging Underbody Insulators

 

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates
F-150 2021 Dearborn (DTP) January 10, 2020 through November 20, 2021
F-150 2021 Kansas City (KCAP) February 17, 2020 through October 19, 2021
F-150 2022 Dearborn (DTP) October 29, 2021 through November 6, 2021
F-150 2022 Kansas City (KCAP) October 13, 2021 through October 13, 2021

The eleventh VIN position is the assembly plant code.

  • F – Dearborn Assembly (Dearborn, Michigan) = DTP
  • K – Kansas City Assembly (Claycomo, Missouri) = KCAP Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.

 

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

In some of the affected vehicles, underbody insulators may loosen and contact the aluminum driveshaft, resulting in marking or scoring of the driveshaft. Over time, the aluminum driveshaft may fracture, which can 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 secondary damage to surrounding components. A fractured driveshaft may also contact the ground which may cause loss of control of the vehicle while driving. 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 secure both the driver and passenger-side underbody insulators and inspect the driveshaft, fuel vapor lines and electrical connectors for damage and repair as required. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE

Owner letters were mailed the week of January 31, 2022. 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 $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

 

SOLD VEHICLES

  • Ford has not issued instructions to stop selling/delivering or driving used vehicles under this safety recall. Owners should contact their dealer for an appointment to have their vehicles remedied as soon as practicable. Owners can continue to safely drive their vehicles.
  • Immediately contact any of your affected customers whose vehicles are not on your VIN list but are identified in OASIS. Give the customer a copy of the Owner Notification Letter (when available) and schedule a service date.
  • Correct other affected vehicles identified in OASIS which are brought to your dealership.
  • Dealers are to prioritize repairs of customer vehicles over repairs of new and used vehicle inventory.

 

STOCK VEHICLES

  • Correct all affected units in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.
  • Use OASIS to identify any affected vehicles in your used vehicle inventory.

 

DEALER-OPERATED RENTAL VEHICLES

The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act law effective June 2016 prohibits a rental company from selling, renting or leasing vehicles subject to a safety or compliance recall. Please consult your legal counsel for legal advice.

Chronology

Ford Motor Company (Ford) Recall No. 21S56 Amendment #1
CERTAIN 2021-2022 FORD F-150 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ALUMINUM DRIVESHAFTS– UNDERBODY INSULATORS LOOSE

21S56 Amendment #1 Submission Date: 14-JAN-2022

Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination

Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision.

 

July – August 2021

On July 1, 2021, Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) initiated an investigation into reports of inadequate underbody insulator adhesion on 2021 MY F-150 vehicles based on warranty claims of insulators coming loose. Two underbody acoustic/thermal insulators are installed on certain Crew Cab F-150 vehicles with the 302A and above option package. Two push pins assist in attachment of each insulator to the cab underbody in addition to pressure sensitive adhesive. Warranty claims at the time described sagging of one or both insulators, in some cases making contact with the U-joint at the transfer case end of the driveshaft on HEV units that was audible to a driver. CCRG’s investigation into potential vehicle effects of loose insulators continued.

 

September 2021

On September 16, 2021, Driveline Engineering informed CCRG that seven reports of driveshaft damage likely caused by underbody insulator contact on 2021 MY F-150 vehicles had been received, with the earliest dated July 23, 2021. The first four of the seven reports did not attribute driveshaft fracture to insulator contact. Once the CCRG was made aware of reports attributing driveshaft fracture to insulator contact, package and vehicle complexity studies were conducted and found that 4×4 145” wheelbase Crew Cab vehicles are equipped with an aluminum driveshaft that is susceptible to contact from a sagging passenger side insulator.

 

October – November 2021

Vehicle package and CAD studies continued, including assessment of powertrain variation. Field return parts were also evaluated. A vehicle clinic was conducted to evaluate all potential effects of a loose insulator on a variety of F-150 vehicle configurations, including proximity to other driveline configurations, fuel lines, brake lines, and electrical systems. Subsequent analysis found that the risk of driveline contact exists with a loose or sagging driver or passenger side insulator.

 

As of December 7, 2021, there have been 27 reports of fractured aluminum driveshafts potentially related to a sagging underbody insulator on these vehicles.

 

On December 9, 2021, 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.
