8 ON YOUR SIDE CONSUMER ALERT: Ford is recalling nearly 113,000 F-150 pickup trucks over concerns a rear axle hub could break off.

That could cause the truck to lose power or roll away when in park.

The recall applies to some 2021-2023 F-150s that have the Trailer Tow Max Duty package and a 9.75-inch heavy duty axle with a 3/4 float axle design, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The NHTSA advises owners who have problems related to the rear axle bolt, such as a clicking or rattling noise, to take the truck to a dealer for a temporary repair.
