Ford Recalls 2008 E-350's
Ford Motor Co. is recalling 2008 E-350's - 3,331 to be exact. The recalled trucks have a 138-inch wheelbase with a faulty drive shaft assembly.
The National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) reported that "the drive shaft may have been manufactured with a slip yoke that has cracks." The flaw can reduce performance below design specifications.
Over time, the safety agency warns, the slip yoke could fracture without warning, allowing the drive shaft to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Once the recall begins, Ford dealers will inspect the E-350 drive shaft and replace it free of charge. Owners may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673 or NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
