Ford is calling back over 103,000 units of the F-150 pickup in the U.S. due to a problem with defective bolts in the rear axle hub that may break.
The announcement was made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) this Tuesday, which warns of the need to repair the issue that could lead to possible rollovers or loss of vehicle power, increasing the risk of collisions, injuries, and property damage.
The NHTSA estimates that only 1% of the recalled vehicles have the defect, and dealers will resolve the issue at no cost to the owners of the affected vehicles.
Currently, Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this defect. The company has already announced that it will conduct a phased recall and send notification letters to owners between August 18, 2025, and May 22, 2026.
