Ford Motor Company has issued a recall for select 2022 Ford F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models due to a rear caliper bolt safety issue.
The defect: in affected vehicles, the rear brake caliper attachment bolts may not be tightened correctly, which can allow the caliper to loosen and possibly damage the wheel or brake lines.
The hazards: a damaged wheel can result in a loss of tire pressure. A damaged brake line can cause a brake fluid leak and reduce brake performance. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Ford is not aware of any injuries or accidents related to this issue.
