Ford Issues Recall For Select 2021 F-Series Super Duty Vehicles

DEARBORN, MI — Ford Motor Co. has issued a safety recall for F-Series Super Duty vehicles with dual rear wheels, the company said Monday.

Affected vehicles are equipped with front-wheel hub extenders that were not properly tightened by the supplier, according to Ford. The issue could result in the tire and wheel assembly detaching from the front axle, increasing the chance of crashing, the company said.

The recall affects 17,616 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories, as well as 1,779 vehicles in Canada and 231 in Mexico, Ford said.

The company said it isn't aware of any crashes or injuries related to the issue.

Ford said it will begin notifying people who own the affected vehicles this week. They will be instructed not to drive the vehicle until it can be verified that the front-wheel hub extender nuts are tightened to specification, the company said.
