U.S. automaker Ford has issued a recall involving potentially 41,555 trucks, including certain 2023 Super Duty F250 and F350 vehicles “equipped with single rear wheels and a 10.5-inch rear axle shaft,” the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration said.

The NHTSA said the trucks the left rear axle shaft could have a defect caused in production that has the potential to cause it to break. A break could lead to a loss of drive power or cause the vehicle to roll away, even when it is put in park.

The agency says either of their hypothetical safety issue situations could cause an increase in a crash risk.

    I thought it was going to be that the rearview mirrors don’t work and the gas pedal sticks while driving behind another vehicle

      No, apparently that’s a standard feature just like how BMWs come from the factory without working turn signals.

        If you ever feel like your life or work is pointless, remind yourself someone attaches and tests BMW turn signals for a living.
