Ford - Ranger vehicles that may have been produced with incorrect bolts for the rear axle ring gear. In some circumstances the incorrect ring gear bolts may become loose under severe driving conditions causing knocking or whining noises from the rear axle. In very extreme cases the vehicle may experience rear axle lock-up due to the bolts detaching and getting stuck in the rear axle gears.
