- Notes
- Ford campaign no h-2D and h-2D #2.POSSIBILITY that rear axle bearing maydeteriorate due to high axle shaft deflection.deterioration of bearingusually will produce sufficient noise and vibration to indicate need forrepair; relative movement of axle shaft will result in complete loss oftractive effect as it disengages from differential.(correct by inspecting andreplacing with larger diameter shaft axle and new bearing.)

Has your Ford been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
