5 common questions answered
NHTSA reports two axle shaft recalls for certain 2014 Ford Edge vehicles. A support bracket may fail and cause unintended movement from loss of the park function or loss of motive power while driving. A separate retention concern may allow the halfshaft and linkshaft to disengage, cutting power to the wheels and increasing crash risk. If the parking brake is not applied before exiting, the vehicle may also roll away despite being placed in Park. These risks make waiting a poor choice. Check your VIN promptly and schedule service if a recall is open or you are unsure whether a prior repair was completed.
