You only have a recall if life safety is involved. That’s why so many car manufacturers have chronic defects but are not covered by the manufacturer after the warranty expires.

If a failure rate is high enough and outcry is loud enough, SOMETIMES Ford will issue a voluntary good will field service action which will in effect extend the warranty on the part that commonly fails early. Example: they extended the warranty on their ill rated dual clutch automatic in the focus and fiesta to 10 years 100, 000 ( or so) instead of the usual 5/60 power train warranty. I'm not sure the failure rate on the axles is frequent enough or the outcry high enough for that. But it could be possible. As it stands the axles are covered under 5/60 powertrain warranty. So if yours is going to fail, hopefully it will fail before then. And you will likely get the updated part number that's less failure prone.
