2022 FORD F-150 HYBRID Wheels Problems

Recall # 23V896 was sent to me on January 2024 and 14 months later still no parts available for the repair. Risk are the vehicle may roll in park and lose power while driving. I have already had one of the bolts break and it was replaced with a new defective bolt because replacements ( non - defective ) bolts were not yet available. Why is this taking over a year to resolve?

NHTSA states to file a complaint if there has been no remedy in reference to a safety recall in a timely manner. As of to date there is still an open recall on my truck and Ford has stated the recall is incomplete due to no remedy yet available. This recall has been in place since 12/22/23. My truck did have a broken hub bolt and I believe the dealership replaced the passenger rear axle hub. The dealership told me that this is only a temporary repair until Ford comes up with a remedy.

We have been stranded twice for the recall issued in late January 2024, for the rear axle. The truck is currently at the 5th dealership since January2024. The truck is not driveable and Ford still does not have a way to fix the issue. We are having the axle replaced for the second time by a Ford dealership, with no assurance that they have determined how to solve the problem. We picked the truck up from the last axle repair on 2-21-24. We had a rear wheel sensor issue on 3-6-24, after driving less than 1000 miles. On 3-28-24, the axle defect occurred again. The truck was towed again. The Ford website says they do not yet have a solution, yet their certified mechanics continue to “fix” the issue.

Broken bolt in passenger side rear axel. While pulling off the tire the bolt fell to the ground. It is evident it had been broken for quite some time. I think it prevents lateral movement of the axel.

Axle bolt holding the rear wheel assembly onto the axle have broken and the bolt head was rattling around loose inside the wheel.

Right side Rear axle Bolt sheared off. Dealers do not want to fix or cant fix the problem even thought there is a Customer Satisfaction Bulletin that Ford has put out to fix the vehicle. CSP 22B34 Bolt shear has been confirmed by 2 dealers and was told they could not do anything about it until there was a Recall. This has been happening to Hundreds to thousands of F150's. No warnings that it had sheared off. I had my tires Rotated and the mechanics found the bolt rolling around the wheel drum which could cause other problems if not fixed. It looks like the only thing holding the axle in is the brake calipers and if they fail , wheel and or axle could separate from the vehicle which could cause other drivers or pedestrians to be injured. Please help and have Ford make this a recall before somebody is injured or worse.

Axle bolt connecting the rear passenger side wheel to the axle completely sheared off. Wheel starting making a terrible sound while driving and upon inspection found the sheared axle bolt.

The axle bolt has broken twice. The first time I was advised the factory torqued it too tight. The entire axle was replaced. The second time both hub assemblies were replaced. I was told there was a recall but no one could advise me why it was happening or any specifics on the recall. Both time the bolt was found to be broken when I had the tires rotated, there was no odd sounds or odd driving movement to indicate something was wrong. I took the truck into have the bolt inspected after about 1,000 miles to make certain it was ok. The bolt was intact but I was told that the Ford had issued a recall for trucks from a made at a certain factory for using "bad bolts." No one could tell me which factory, if my truck was from that factory and how bad bolts were used for a second time after it was fixed initially. I have not received a recall notice from Ford reference bad bolts or axle issues.

I removed my wheels for standard rotation. When I removed the wheel from the passenger side rear, I found the rear axle bolt was fractured. The portion of the bolt and washer were inside the wheel. This appeared to have been chronic. Pictures available. I did not attempt to remove this bolt. This spontaneously sheared off. It was literally sitting inside the wheel hub.
