Ford to recall over 20,000 F-150 trucks in Canada over axle bolts defect; here's why it's a serious issue for customers

Time of India2 days ago
Ford Motor Company is set to recall as many as 22,664 F-150 pickup trucks in Canada due to an issue with axle hub bolts that can lead to loss of power to the wheels and increase the risk of injury or crash. In a recall notice issued by Transport Canada, the bolts may break and cause the axle shaft's splines to wear, causing a loss of power to the wheels. The recall notice underscored that a loss of power can increase the risk of a crash or cause the vehicle to roll away if parked without the parking brake applied, the notice notes.
The affected model years in Canada are 2023, 2024, and 2025. It is pertinent to mention that the issue only affects trucks equipped with the Trailer Tow Max Duty optional package. The latest recall notice (number 25S82) is an expansion of recall 23S65 (Transport Canada recall no. 2023-705), which flagged the same issue in 2021, 2022, and 2023 models. It is a part of a bigger recall, impacting approximately 103,000 F-150 pickup trucks in the U.S.
The Ford F-150 Lightning electric trucks were also recalled over steering wheel control concerns in May 2025, which impacted 11,409 vehicles in Canada. Transport Canada stated that the American automaker will notify affected owners by mail and advise them to bring their vehicle to a dealership to have the rear axle shafts replaced.

Kyle Busch firmly declines NASCAR vegan challenge despite top pit stall incentive

Kyle Busch firmly declines NASCAR vegan challenge despite top pit stall incentive (Image via Getty) In 2018, NASCAR offered a unique challenge to its Cup Series drivers. The governing body promised the best pit stall, also called the number one pit stall, to any driver willing to follow a vegan diet for one month. During that season, Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup Series champion from Las Vegas, was asked about this unusual offer in Jeff Gluck's famous '12 Questions' interview. Even with such a big racing advantage on the table, Kyle Busch clearly said he would not give up his diet for this deal. Kyle Busch said 'No' to switching diets during NASCAR's 2018 season The moment came during Jeff Gluck's sit-down interview in 2018, when he asked Kyle Busch if he would change his diet plans for the number one pit stall. Busch, who was driving full-time in the Cup Series then, gave a sharp answer. He said, 'If it was for more than one week.' When Jeff Gluck pushed him further, asking if he would do it even for a single race weekend, Kyle Busch quickly responded, 'No. No, no. I haven't won enough poles in my career that I think that's mattered, where I've ever won a race because I had the No. 1 pit box. So, no, I wouldn't swap.' At the time of that interview, the Las Vegas-born driver had already built a successful Cup career. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Readers says this maybe the best Cable TV Communications | Search Ad Search Now Undo As of today, Kyle Busch has recorded 63 career wins, 253 top-five finishes, and 389 top-10 finishes in 739 Cup Series starts. He also has 33 pole positions. Away from the Cup Series, he has been dominant in the Xfinity Series with 102 career wins, 267 top-10s, and 70 poles. This shows Busch has never been fully reliant on pit stall placement for wins, and his refusal to go vegan made clear how strongly he values sticking to his normal lifestyle.

In June 2025, before the EchoPark race, Busch spoke with Frontstretch Media about the schedule changes. He said NASCAR's decision to add different tracks to the Cup Series is good for attracting fresh fans. Busch explained, 'I think the schedule having variation is really cool. I think that's great. It gives you a little more diversity within your fan base in the areas of the country that you can go races.' He pointed to new ideas like racing in Mexico, returning to Chicagoland Speedway, or even adding San Diego. Busch believes mixing classic tracks with new venues brings in new supporters while keeping long-time fans engaged. So far in the 2025 season, Kyle Busch has 25 starts with seven top-10 and two top-five finishes. He currently sits 16th in the Cup Series points standings with 537 points but is still searching for his first win of the year to guarantee a spot in the playoffs.
