SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:NON-POWERED AXLE ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019 Transit T150, T250, T350 vehicles equipped with aluminum alloy wheels. The wheel mounting surface of the axle flange may be warped and cause the wheel studs to fracture.
- What it can cause
- Fractured studs may allow the wheel to detach, increasing the risk of crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and if necessary, replace the rear axle shaft assembly, axle shaft mounting bolts, and rear wheel lug nuts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 28, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 21S21.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 2,503 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 68% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 33 times before this, most recently in March 2021 as 21V202000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 37 complaints with NHTSA, 10 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the suspension, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in July 2019, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V876000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 25V572000 (back over prevention), 21V631000 (parking brake), 20V250000 (seat belts).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on May 7, 2021 as campaign 21V324000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
