• Description:

  This genuine Ford vent valve assembly relieves internal air pressure that builds up inside the driveline unit as it heats and cools during operation, allowing the housing to breathe while keeping dirt, road splash, and moisture out of the internal gears and lubricant. It fits 2011 through 2019 Ford Explorer and Taurus and 2015 through 2019 Edge and Flex, along with related Lincoln models, and replaces the earlier service part for this location. When the vent becomes clogged or the check valve inside fails, pressure cannot equalize and the trapped pressure forces lubricant past the shaft seals, showing up as fluid seepage or drips beneath the unit, low fluid level, and eventual bearing or gear noise as lubrication is lost. A vent that sticks open can instead let water and contaminants enter, which breaks down the fluid and accelerates internal wear. Replacing this small but critical valve restores proper venting and protects the more expensive driveline components from pressure related seal failure. This is the Ford catalog Valve Assembly Vent and installs in its original port using the factory routing so no modification is needed. Inspect the mating port and any attached breather hose for debris during installation, confirm the valve seats fully, and check the unit fluid level afterward, topping off with the Ford specified lubricant if any loss occurred. Ordering by this part number ensures the correct valve for the application.
