"Ford Recalls 42,000 Trucks for Crash-Causing Defect"

Ford is recalling nearly 42,000 Super Duty F250 and F350 trucks due to a defect in the left rear axle shaft that may break, increasing the risk of crashes. The issue was identified through monitoring of warranty claims, and affected models were found to have been improperly heat-treated during manufacturing. Ford will inspect and replace the part if necessary free of charge, and affected truck owners will receive notification letters. This comes after Ford's recall of 870,701 F-150 trucks earlier this year for a wiring issue with their electric parking brakes, which also posed a safety risk.
