Exclamation 2018-2022 Explorer RECALL- Axle/Diff/Driveshaft/ Control arm issues

Ford has issued a RECAL for 2018-2022 Explorers/Aviators due to a design flaw in the differential/axle mount
Ford Recalls 2020 - 2022 Explorer Over Rear Axle Mounting Bolt Fracturing Issue

This flaw has caused a multitude of problems. Sadly the OEM fix is a band aid at BEST and will fail as well. Fortunately there is a CURE designed and built here in the USA by Anthony Woodford Racing in Vista CA. The owner is well known as the developer and builder of the Spec Miata suspension package for Mazda Motorsports and for being Chief Crew Chassis for the GTP championship NISSAN team

HERE is their cure..



YOUR WELCOME

As mentioned in my previous post, this is a bit extreme for a fairly simple problem with a fairly simple fix that really has only involved a few units (235). It apparently involves units that are often driven aggressively. The new bolt, where appropriate, seems like a good fix. The reprogramming would seem like just a little extra to insure safety.
