NHTSA Complaint #11591571 — 2021 FORD F-150

Good day, I am experiencing a leak from the front differential pinion seal on my vehicle. This leak appears to be a common issue based on reports from other owners in various online forums and owner groups. The front differential transfers power from the transmission to the front wheels. A leak from the pinion seal can cause a loss of differential fluid, which could lead to premature wear and eventual failure of the front differential components. If the front differential fails while driving, it could cause a loss of control of the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash or collision. This poses a significant safety hazard to myself, my passengers, and other vehicles on the road. I am requesting that Ford Motor Company acknowledge this issue and take corrective action by issuing a recall or service bulletin to inspect and repair/replace the faulty front differential pinion seals on affected vehicles. Allowing this defect to persist is unacceptable from a quality and safety standpoint. A front differential failure caused by this leak could result in serious vehicle damage, injuries, or fatalities. Please investigate this matter thoroughly and require Ford to address this safety defect before it leads to additional vehicle failures and potential accidents. Thank you!
