These changes could lead to sudden change of direction while braking. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA change in steering while braking could create the risk of a crash.rnrnCorrective Actions: rnFord will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to inspect the front axle yoke welds. The dealer will replace any axle assembly that is not properly welded.
