POWER TRAIN:AXLE HUBS
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2023 E450 vehicles. The bolt that secures the rear axle rotor to the wheel-hub may be improperly tightened, possibly resulting in wheel separation.
- What it can cause
- Wheel separation from the vehicle increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the rear axle serial number, and if necessary, remove and inspect the rear axle rotor and hub assembly. If any bolts are found to be loose, the rotor and hub assembly will be replaced. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 18, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S68.
- 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.nhtsa.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 596 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 52% 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, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the power train 90 times before this, most recently in August 2022 as 22V646000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 22V925000 (fuel system, gasoline), 22V384000 (equipment).
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 October 20, 2022 as campaign 22V792000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
