The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the rear axle hub bolt had fractured on three separate occasions while driving. The contact stated that there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the rear hubcap, followed by a rear-end fluid leak prior to each failure. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The dealer replaced the driver’s and passenger’s side rear axles under warranty twice. Following the most recent failure, the owner received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V896000 (Power Train); but was informed that parts for the repair were on back order. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. The contact attempted to notify the manufacturer several times via phone and email, but received no response. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 26,095.

Notified of the Recall 23V-896 remedy/parts availability in May of 2025. Appointment scheduled to inspect and submit photos to ford for parts order on 6/3/2025. Called to follow up 9/2025, 1/2026, 5/2026. As of 6/16/2026 the repair order is still open for the parts and there has been no estimated time of delivery. The rear axle bolt on the passenger side has since broken during the wait for the remedy. Ford is taking an unreasonable amount of time to repair.

I've spent hours trying to get Ford to fix the 23S65 hub recall. I get nowhere. Finally got a case number - # XXX-XXX. Recall started 2023 if I'm not mistaking. I've called dealer many times and they say Ford. Ford can find parts for new vehicles but not for my truck. I bought the truck to tow but I'm scared to use it. It seems Ford will never "have" parts. It feels like they want me to crash it or get stranded before fixing it. They have the parts. Just for new trucks or people whose trucks are completely broken. I want to tow but I can't. Dealer is now saying...parts sometime in Q3. That just keeps getting extented. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The recall is 10 months old and no remedy offered. Every time I get behind tge wheel I'm risking an injury or death of myself or someone else. I can't sell my vehicle because it would put the next owner at risk. Do I have to wait until there's an injury or death to have something done about this?

I was driving my 2022 F150 during the 5/5/2026 Northern Colorado blizzard home to Nebraska with Slippery mode selected on Drive Train Selector and the truck started violently rattling and seized, causing catastrophic drivetrain failure with loss of power and perceptible steering control. I immediately pulled off I80 near my fueling stop destination and turned off the truck. I opened the hood to vent smoke and assess for fire. Once fire was not an issue, I started the ignition sequence to view any warning lights before starting motor. There were no warning lights or sensors indicating loss of fluids or abnormal temperatures noted in oil or transmission. The motor started and then I tried shifting through the transmission. It would engage but not move forward in any of the Drive Train Selector settings. I could travel in reverse and place in neutral, but I could not manually move forward or back when I pushed. I called Ford Roadside Assistance for towing and was flat-bedded to Sterling Korf Ford where catastrophic front end differential and assembly was noted. I had an experience leaving my work parking lot 2/27/2026, and have a malfunction warning on my vehicle phone app. That event was corrected by stopping and rotating through the Drive Train Selector switch out of 4x4 to 2H. I had 100K mile full service at Greeley, CO, Ford in July 2025 with all fluids flushed and filled and multipoint inspection. I feel this is a mechanical design flaw in the Integrated Wheel End (IWE). And with no dashboard warning to hint at impending catastrophic failure, this warrants immediate recall notice. I was fortunate not to be in heavy traffic when catastrophic failure happened, otherwise an accident would have occurred. I am a [XXX] career Emergency Physician and have enough experience to know when there is a system failure and a near miss. This is not an isolated human event leading to a sentinel event, but a system failure that must be fixed before lives are lost.

I purchased my truck brand new in July 2022 from Auto Saver Ford in New York. Roughly between 5000 and 10,000 miles at a certain speed the 10 R 80 transmission in my truck would unexpectedly violently slam into a lower gear, causing my truck immediately go to a slower speed, and that I was not ready for. I brought it back multiple times to the dealership under warranty. They told me they fixed the problem however, I continue to have the same issues. Ford is telling me now they will not fix it even though I do have confirmation from a Ford dealer that the Park Paul in the Transmission is damaged and can cause the vehicle to slam into park even if I’m doing 70 miles an hour on the highway. There was an initial recall done however the my truck was made at the Kentucky truck plant where the issue was initiated. However, Ford claims there were specific dates they noted. They had issues building these transmissions and my truck missed the deadline by one month even though I’m having the same exact problems.

My vehicle was subject to Recall FSA 23S65, which addresses a defect involving the rear axle hub bolt. I brought the vehicle to a Ford-authorized dealership for the recall repair; however, the repair was not properly completed. The rear axle hub bolt subsequently failed, confirming that the recall defect was not adequately remedied. After the bolt failure, I returned the vehicle to the dealership, where technicians stated that the differential is now damaged. They claim that an axle bearing failed independently and dispersed metal contaminants throughout the differential, characterizing this as a coincidence unrelated to the recall issue. However, upon further review by a mechanic, it appears far more likely that the axle bolt failure directly caused or contributed to the bearing failure and resulting differential damage. The vehicle now produces a humming noise while driving, and I have been strongly advised that it is unsafe to operate. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this matter with both the dealership and Ford Motor Company, I have been unable to obtain a satisfactory response or corrective action. This situation raises serious concerns regarding the adequacy of the recall repair and the resulting safety risk.

Hard shifts from 10R80 Transmission in 2022 f150, I’ve had a lot of hard shifts especially in lower gears, clunking sounds and skipping gears every so often, the 10R80 transmission should be recalled in all fords and have the updated parts in them, it is unacceptable to have these kind of trucks transmission failing at 70,000 miles. There is tons of people complaining about this. Thank you

This is in reference to recall #23S65. I have been to two different Ford Service Centers over the last 2 years (2024 thru 2026). NO Ford service center has completed recall #23S65 on my 2022 F150. The Ford service centers talks about waiting for parts on order. However, the parts NEVER arrive. How can you accomplish a recall with no parts??

Rear axle bolt fell off and then car stopped being able to move. Axle spins no movement. I was driving while this was happening on a very busy road.. Thankfully I was able to stop in the middle of the road but not able to pull over. Had to push the car out of a busy road. Took truck to dealership and they stated there was no fix and that they shouldn’t give the car back but they did. Then the truck broke down 6 months later. No one has checked on it and there were no lights on dash telling me there was an active issue other than me knowing there was an active recall.

See attached document for complaint. I write this letter to you requesting your assistance regarding Ford Motor Co. recall 23S65 / NHTSA Recall 23V896. I received an initial recall notice in May, 2025. For your convenience, I am including a copy for your quick reference. In addition, I have received a subsequent recall reminder from Ford Motor Co. in November, 2025 noting that I have not addressed the safety recall repairs as of yet. I was urged to seek necessary repairs from my local Ford Dealer as soon as possible. A copy of this letter is also included for your reference and records. Please be advised that I have been in contact with my local Ford Dealer located in Montrose, CO on numerous occasions in an attempt to have there service department make the necessary repairs to my 2022 Ford F-150, most recently on January 2, 2026. I have been instructed that parts are still not available for them to fix the recall on my truck. It has been (8) months ago that I received an initial recall notice from Ford Motor Co. A few weeks ago I called the Ford Recall Assistance Center at 1-866-436-7332 in hopes of getting a resolution and timeline for a repair work to be completed on my Ford F-150. Unfortunately, this too was simply a waste of my time and energy as nothing was done to complete the necessary recall work to my vehicle. This has been extremely frustrating. I recognize there are safety issues that make it dangerous to drive my Ford-150 without the necessary recall repair work being completed. My wife and I rely solely on our F-150 for transportation as we are a single vehicle family and we are concerned about a potential future accident or vehicle breakdown. It is difficult for me to comprehend how Ford Motor Company can be so negligent and incompetent in getting this recall notice addressed in a timely fashion. In my opinion, Ford Motor Co.’s inaction in dealing with my F-150 recall is nothing short of being totally unacceptable. Thank you in advance for your consideration and assistance in this matter. If you wish to contact me, listed below is my contact information.

Excessively hard transmission gear changes int eh 2, 3, 4 gear range. Happens in cold weather. Happens when accelerating and when down shifting. Gear shift is so violent it rattles the vehicle. Vehicle still operational, but long lime viability is not good. Feels like changing gears in a standard transmission but without using the clutch.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2022 Ford F-150 Supercab Diesel verdict →
