AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
Transit AWD | 2020 | KCAP | May 1, 2019 through February 1, 2020 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, it may be possible for the rear driveshaft to transfer case constant velocity joint (CVJ) mounting bolts to become loose, missing, or damaged. Loose, missing, or damaged driveshaft attachment bolts can lead to the separation of the driveshaft from the transfer case. This can result in an undesirable noise, secondary damage to surrounding components, including brake lines, loss of motive power while driving, or unintended vehicle movement in park without the parking brake applied.
SERVICE ACTION
The dealer is to check the torque of all 6 driveshaft bolts on the driveshaft to transfer case side for loose, missing, or damaged bolts. If bolts are found loose, missing, or damaged, the dealer is to replace the driveshaft, all driveshaft bolts, center bearing bracket bolts, driveshaft to rear axle companion flange bolts, transfer case flange kit, and transfer case seal. This includes drain and fill transfer case per technical instructions at no charge to the vehicle owner. On vehicles that do not have a loose or missing or damaged – bolt, the dealer is to replace the driveshaft bolts per WSM (Workshop Manual). Dealer will also send pictures to SSSC of loose, missing, or damaged bolts and/or damage of adjoining components.

Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination for Ford Motor Company Recall #21S54 – Amendment#1
Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision.
June – July 2021 On June 9, 2021, Driveline Engineering notified Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) of an increase in warranty reports alleging loose or missing bolts where the driveshaft connects to the transfer case constant velocity joint (CVJ) interface on certain 2020 MY Transit AWD vehicles. The AWD variant was introduced in North America for the 2020 MY. From September to October 2020, CCRG previously investigated this topic. A report received on September 14, 2020 from a fleet customer stated that four fleet vehicles had experienced loose or missing bolts at the AWD driveshaft to transfer case CVJ interface. Three of these vehicles alleged driveshaft separation. CCRG was not aware of any similar reports from other fleet or retail customers at that time. Investigation of the fleet’s reports had found no evidence of improper driveshaft flange bolt installation at Kansas City Assembly Plant (KCAP), and analysis found evidence of potential improper driveshaft removal and reinstallation by the fleet. Driveline Engineering continued to monitor this subject.
Based on the updated field data, Engineering conducted part inspections, supplier reviews and material analysis and found nothing out of specification. The KCAP team reviewed all quality and tooling records and did not identify any anomalies or special cause relating to this concern.
August – October 2021 A targeted fleet engineering study was undertaken to aid the engineering evaluation of this concern. Ford identified multiple candidate vehicles for inspection, though only one vehicle was made available based on high vehicle usage. On that vehicle, one bolt was missing, one bolt was fractured, and the remaining four bolts were loose.
November 2021 Driveline Engineering conducted multiple assembly trials at KCAP and was unable to replicate the issue or identify a potential cause for a loss of bolt clamp load between the driveshaft and transfer case CVJ.
As of November 25, 2021, there have been 51 reports alleging loose, damaged or missing bolts at the Transit AWD driveshaft to transfer case CVJ interface with 24 alleging driveshaft separation. These reports span multiple fleets and retail customers. All reports relate to vehicles produced prior to February 1, 2020.
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.

Submission Date: 12/16/2021 Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination for Ford Motor Company Recall #21C25 Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision. June – July 2021 On June 9, 2021, Driveline Engineering notified Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) of an increase in warranty reports alleging loose or missing bolts where the driveshaft connects to the transfer case constant velocity joint (CVJ) interface on certain 2020 MY Transit AWD vehicles. The AWD variant was introduced in North America for the 2020 MY. From September to October 2020, CCRG previously investigated a report from a fleet customer of five fleet vehicles that experienced loose or missing bolts at the AWD driveshaft to transfer case CVJ interface. CCRG was not aware of any similar reports from other fleet or retail customers at that time. Investigation of the fleet’s reports had found no evidence of improper driveshaft flange bolt installation at Kansas City Assembly Plant (KCAP), and analysis found evidence of potential improper driveshaft removal and reinstallation by the fleet. Driveline Engineering continued to monitor this subject. Based on the updated field data, Engineering conducted part inspections, supplier reviews and material analysis and found nothing out of specification. The KCAP team reviewed all quality and tooling records and did not identify any anomalies or special cause relating to this concern. August – October 2021 A targeted fleet engineering study was undertaken to aid the engineering evaluation of this concern. Ford identified multiple candidate vehicles for inspection, though only one vehicle was made available based on high vehicle usage. On that vehicle, one bolt was missing, one bolt was fractured, and the remaining four bolts were loose. November 2021 Driveline Engineering conducted multiple assembly trials at KCAP and was unable to replicate the issue or identify a potential cause for a loss of bolt clamp load between the driveshaft and transfer case CVJ. As of November 25, 2021, there have been 50 reports alleging loose or missing bolts at the Transit AWD driveshaft to transfer case CVJ interface with 22 alleging driveshaft separation. These reports span multiple fleets and retail customers. All reports relate to vehicles produced prior to February 1, 2020. 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. ###

If a replaced part receives a scrap disposition, the part must be scrapped in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal environmental protection and hazardous material regulations. Federal law prohibits selling motor vehicle parts or components that are under safety, compliance, or emissions recall. 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 dealers fixed operations management team or an employee 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.). • This process is subject to review during warranty audits for FSA repairs with a repair order open date of March 1st, 2021 or later. Any eligible FSA claims requiring parts replacement, found not to have been inspected and signed off during a warranty audit will be subject to chargeback and consideration for enrollment into the Dealer Incomplete Recall Repair Process. 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 from 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 clearly identified on the Repair Order. If multiple FSA’s require approval on a single Repair Order, each applicable occurrence will require individual post repair approval by the designated employee.
