Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 4,351 of its 2025-2026 F-53 and F-59 vehicles because the front axle hub assembly may be missing a critical spindle nut and cotter pin. Without these parts, the wheel could detach or the braking system could be severely damaged. Owners can take their vehicles to a Ford dealer for a free inspection and, if necessary, the installation of the missing hardware.
A missing spindle nut can cause the wheel to detach from the vehicle or damage the brakes while driving. This lead to a sudden loss of vehicle control, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
