Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 1,434 of its 2023 Bronco and Ranger vehicles because the lug nuts on the driver’s side wheels may not have been tightened correctly during assembly. If the lug nuts are loose, the wheel could completely detach from the vehicle while you are driving, which significantly increases the risk of a crash. Ford is advising owners of these specific vehicles to stop driving them immediately until a dealer can inspect and secure the wheels.
Owners should not drive this vehicle until it is repaired because loose lug nuts can allow the wheel to vibrate and eventually fall off the vehicle while it is in motion. This would lead to a sudden loss of vehicle control and a high risk of a collision.
