Details

On certain Ranger Electric vehicles, the bolts that attach the transaxle to the vehicle may loosen and the driver may notice a jerking motion and/or a clunking sound.

If the vehicle is not serviced promptly.

all nine bolts may ultimately fall out or fracture.

If this occurs, the transaxle may fall down from its intended location and cause the transaxle to be in a different gear than indicated.

If the shifter is in park, the vehicle may still be free to roll as if in neutral.

Correction: Transaxle bolts will be replaced with longer bolts equipped with a thread lock material.

New bolts will also have a higher installation torque.
