Ford Recalls 83,000 Vehicles for Axle Clip That Could Cause Power Loss

Ford has issued a recall for more than 83,000 vehicles because they could lose power or roll away due to a faulty part.

The company says that due to the improper installation of a clip in the axle, the halfshaft can disengage from the linkshaft. If that happens, power won't be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, the vehicles could roll out of the "park" position if the emergency brake isn't engaged.

Ford says there have been no reports of injuries or accidents related to the defect.

Ford will notify owners and begin free repairs by the end of August.
