I haven't been notified. Just happened to see it on the web. If you have the window sticker its on there. If not it's also on a sticker on the B pillar.

Thank you. I am a few weeks out of the date window. I got the story forwarded by a family member so started searching for date info. Best of luck with your vehicle

Let's hope yours is Not one of the 18 vehicles with the defective one.

The recall showed up on Ford Pass this weekend. I have not received a letter from Ford yet but plan on calling service tomorrow to see if I can schedule it to be checked.

The recall for the rear camera is still taking forever... This is more serious, so I hope it gets priority.

I contacted my dealer last week. They knew about the recall, and scheduled an appointment even though I hadn't received notice from Ford. Ultimately, they found that my Explorer wasn't one of the 18 with bad driveshafts.

I had mine in Friday with the same results. Driveshaft checked out OK.
