WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Serviceability of the power transfer unit is limited to seals and output flange. If any of the geared components, bearings, case cover or internal shafts fail, a new power transfer unit must be installed.
