CBS Dallas/Fort Worth February 25, 2022 Ford is recalling nearly 250,000 select heavy-duty pickups in the U.S. because the drive shaft can fracture and cause a loss of power. The recall covers certain F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups from the 2017 through 2022 model years. The trucks have gasoline engines and aluminum driveshafts. In documents posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Ford says that heat and noise insulators below the body can loosen, and touch the drive shaft. The shaft can fracture, causing a power loss, or loss of control if it hits the ground.
