Official summary
If a 2015-2017 Transit vehicle originally equipped with a rubber flexible coupling requires replacement of the driveshaft assembly and/or transmission output flange, refer to the parts catalog supersession information for a complete list of the required parts. The service strategy has changed, and these repairs must now be completed by installing a new driveshaft and transmission output flange coupled with a u-joint.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
