Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Contact a Ford dealer to schedule a free inspection of the front axle hub assembly to ensure the spindle nut and cotter pin are properly installed.
  2. If the parts are missing, the dealer will replace the front axle spindle nut and cotter pin free of charge.
  3. You can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 26S27.
