Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 644 of its 2022 F-53 and F-59 vehicles due to a manufacturing defect where the rear brake caliper attachment bolts were not tightened correctly. This loose connection can cause the caliper to move, potentially damaging the wheel or the brake lines. Ford will contact owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten the bolts or replace any damaged bolts free of charge.
If the brake caliper comes loose, it can strike the wheel and cause a sudden loss of tire pressure. It can also sever or damage brake lines, leading to a fluid leak that reduces braking power and significantly increases the risk of a crash.
You have 2 options:
Inspection and tightening of rear caliper bolts
Replacement of damaged bolts
