Ford issues new recalls

Had my car at the dealer last week for some service and warranty work. One of the issues being a clicking noise. They inspected my car per the recall and it met the criteria for the recall. They ordered the parts. Hoping I get a call tomorrow.

They weren't sure if the clicking noise was related to the recall or not though.
 
There is a tsb on the clicking. They need to add a washer on he half shaft at the hub.

Is it when you turn?

Video on 5th post.  Paperwork on last page showing fix.  Washer tsb didn't help, needed hubs.  Others with PP owners had same experience.
 
Can anyone get a hold of the ford recall instructions?  I looked at mine and the cv hub is fully engaged around and over the intermediate shaft. I want to see what they are going to look at or if it's simple as that.

This is what you need to check for. The shaft exhibited a harsh vibration under half to full throttle for approximately 100 miles before it did this. I don't think you or anyone else can inspect for this. The spring system failed inside the cv cup which allowed the axle shaft to pop off of the intermediate shaft. If the spring system is failing internally but the retention clip is still holding the axle shaft on the intermediate splines, how in the world can someone inspect this. In my experiance, it takes a good deal of effort to separate them. So unless they are separating the splines and checking the CV cup's integrity during this inspection, I feel bringing your car in could be a waste of time. But that's just my opinion.
 
Great.... I hope they don't just look at it from afar and say... yep its still there... then a year from now when I'm in the mountains carving up the road it will just fall off the spline. 
 
If most importanly its a safety issue,shouldnt they address this issue at least by notifying each ford owner by mail,and not for us to learn about here or on tv,i was never informed about a minor recall a while ago regarding tail light recall until i made appt for an oil change.
 
Used to be we'd get a letter for each recall, but that was years ago.  Now you have to keep yourself updated at owner.ford.com.  Probably should make it a habit to check in monthly anyway :)
 
Thanks SHOdded,i guess im just a little bit old fashioned,i guess going GREEN is more important than a half shaft falling apart,then lawsuits and injuries etc.

LOL.  Hopefully now that the membership is aware, no one will come even close to this happening to them. Once (crashnburn) is enough!
 
Depending on the surface of the road determines the speed you hear it at.  Seems to be a rotational sound from the rear driver tire. 
 
Does this sound/vibration have any "pulsing"  qualities to it. 
I had a similar problem awhile back. Turned out to be the RDU or rear drive unit.
 
I believe so as it's not a constant tone - like a out of round wheel noise.  I guess Monday or so I will get some answers.  25,428 miles on the clock.

And here is my last post after it was fixed.


" Pulsing Vibration finally fixed

07-04-2013, 03:02 PM

It's been kind of a nightmare dealing with this problem. But it's finally fixed. It ended up being the RDU. Here's a list of the parts ford already replaced before the RDU 1 wheel Entire driveshaft assembly All four wheel/hub bearings PTU assembly AWD control module RDU Total time for all repairs, troubleshooting, waiting for parts. ford had my car for 8 weeks!!! The RDU is built by ZF to order, so they do not have them in stock waiting for shipment. Oh and I replaced all 4 michelin tires with new michelin mxm4. Michelin gave me a 50% credit on 3 of them. So if you have a pulsing vibration above 50mph ...........IT'S THE RDU!!!!!"

 
Mine checked today all good. I asked if this was something I should have inspected regularly and was told nope. Either it is the faulty part, which they can see if it is, or its good. It is not like our cars have the faulty parts and the failure may or may not occur.
