Descriptive Information : Jayco obtained a list of affected VIN numbers from Ford Motor Company for their recall 24V-102. Jayco matched those VIN numbers to our production records.
Production Dates : JUL 31, 2023 – FEB 16, 2024 VIN Range 1 : Begin : 1FDRU8UG7PKB09812 End : 1FDRU8PG1PKB98773 ✔ Not sequential Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : Ford Motor Company reported to Jayco Inc. that they are recalling certain 2023-2024 Model Year Transit Vehicles Equipped with a 9.75 Rear Axle. In the affected vehicles, insufficient rear axle lubricant fill volume may result in an inadequate coating of the rear axle pinion bearing, potentially leading to overheat and bearing seizure. Bearing seizure may lead to rear wheel lock-up and driveshaft separation from the rear axle.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : In the event of rear axle bearing seizure, customers may experience rear
wheel lock-up and possible driveshaft separation, resulting in loss of vehicle control or loss of vehicle motive power. Driveshaft separation may result in unintended vehicle movement while the vehicle is in Park if the parking brake is not applied. These conditions increase the risk of crash or injury.
Description of the Cause : A revised rear axle design was introduced into production with insufficient lubrication volume. The inadequate volume of rear axle lubricant was due to a
change in the static level of axle lubricant in the revised rear axle design. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-158 Page 2 Identification of Any Warning
