I began to notice a shudder during low-speed turns with high steering angle. Upon inspection, metallic flakes were discovered in the RDU’s fluid, apparently indicating mechanical degradation of the internal clutch packs.  Two separate Ford dealerships recommended complete RDU assembly replacement at a significant expense.   I am concerned that an important drivetrain component could deteriorate this quickly, from normal driving use. I believe this could result in wheel drag/lockup or seizure while operating the vehicle. I have not experienced it yet and I’m not sure whether a total mechanical failure would cause it either.  Ford has numerous technical service bulletins on this issue, so it is known to them (TSB 26-2328). I am currently waiting for a dealership to receive parts so that the RDU may be replaced.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"BRONCO SPORT","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
