REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, the front wheel hub extension nuts may not be tightened to specification. Insufficiently tightened front wheel hub extension nuts may cause vibration and noise while driving and may result in front wheel and wheel hub extension detachment from the vehicle, increasing the risk of an injury or crash.
SERVICE ACTION
Before driving, demonstrating, or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to verify the front wheel hub extension nut torque on both sides of the vehicle. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
Owners are advised not to drive the affected vehicles until the torque has been verified on both wheel hub extensions. Owners will be provided with a set of instructions to verify the hub extension torque. Some owners may choose to have a dealer verify the hub extension torque. This can be completed by the dealer utilizing a mobile repair process or towing the vehicle to the dealer for torque verification. To assist vehicle owners to have this repair completed dealers are to:
- Proactively contact owners to instruct them to stop driving their vehicle
- Arrange for a mobile repair at the owner’s location, or o Arrange to tow the owner’s vehicle to the dealership for repairs (rentals are authorized – see Rental Vehicles)
- Re-deliver the owner’s vehicle after repairs have been completed.
Refer to the Vehicle Special Handling section for further details.
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE

Ford Motor Company (Ford) Recall No. 21S26 Amendment #1
Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination
Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision.
On May 13, 2021, Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group was informed of two reports alleging left-front wheel detachment while driving. One claim was identified in warranty and one claim was identified through Ford’s field reporting system (Global Common Quality Indicator System, GCQIS).
Investigation at the supplier axle assembly facility determined that the supplier assembly process allowed for certain axle assemblies to bypass the automated torque station where installation of the front wheel hub extender to the rotor is completed and wheel hub extender nut torque is recorded. Subsequent supplier assembly stations did not reject the parts that were missing valid recorded torque history.
A review of supplier processes and production records identified seven front axle assemblies believed to have been shipped to Ford with risk of inadequate torque on the fasteners attaching the wheel hub extender to the front rotor. Two of the suspect assemblies were associated with the wheel detachment reports listed above.
On May 20, 2021, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action for the five remaining vehicles with front wheel hub extenders that may not have been properly attached. Ford contacted the vehicle owners and arranged for inspection and repair of their vehicles.
Subsequent to the May 20th field action approval, the supplier contacted Ford indicating that additional axle assemblies at risk for insufficiently tightened front wheel hub extender nuts were not contained within their processes as originally indicated. In-depth auditing of supplier records was undertaken to identify any additional suspect axle assemblies delivered to Ford. The supplier was unable to provide documentation of containment for the additional axles that did not have proper serialization, which increased the affected vehicle population.
On June 2, 2021, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed and approved the expanded scope of the field action.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.

Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, the front wheel hub extension nuts may not be tightened to
specification. Insufficiently tightened front wheel hub extension nuts may cause vibration and noise
while driving and may result in front wheel and wheel hub extension detachment from the vehicle,
increasing the risk of an injury or crash.
New! SERVICE ACTION
Before driving, demonstrating, or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers
are to verify the front wheel hub extension nut torque on both sides of the vehicle. This service must
be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
Copyright 2021 Ford Motor Company
Owners are advised not to drive the affected vehicles until the torque has been verified on both wheel
hub extensions. Owners will be provided with a set of instructions to verify the hub extension torque.
Some owners may choose to have a dealer verify the hub extension torque. This can be completed by
the dealer utilizing a mobile repair process or towing the vehicle to the dealer for torque verification.
To assist vehicle owners to have this repair completed dealers are to:
Proactively contact owners to instruct them to stop driving their vehicle
Arrange for a mobile repair at the owner’s location, or
o Arrange to tow the owner’s vehicle to the dealership for repairs (rentals are authorized
– see Rental Vehicles)
Re-deliver the owner’s vehicle after repairs have been completed.
Refer to the Vehicle Special Handling section for further details.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Ford is in the process of contacting owners and arranging for inspection and repair of their vehicles.
Mailing of owner letters is expected to occur the week of June 14, 2021. Dealers should repair any
affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to
the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of
up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

when installing wheels may result in the wheel nuts loosening and the wheel coming off while
the vehicle is in motion, which could result in loss of control, leading to serious injury or death
to vehicle occupant(s).
NOTICE: Make sure to apply a thin coat of anti-seize lubrication only to the interface between the
wheel pilot bore and the hub pilot. Do not allow the anti-seize to make contact with the
wheel-to-brake disc/drum mounting surface, wheel studs, wheel nuts, brake pads or
brake disc friction surfaces or damage to components may occur.

WARNING: Use only the specified lubricant on the wheel studs as directed in the following procedure.
Incorrect lubricant application may result in insufficient wheel nut torque, resulting in possible
wheel/tire separation from the vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious
injury to the vehicle occupant(s).
NOTE: Do not allow oil to build up in the wheel stud threads. Only use 2 to 3 drops of oil per wheel hub.
8. Apply 2 to 3 drops of the specified motor oil to a clean shop towel. Using the shop towel, apply the oil
to the wheel stud threads.
• Wipe off any excess oil from the wheel stud threads.
9. On all 2-piece flat wheel nuts, apply one drop of motor oil between the flat washer and the nut. If
corrosion exists, or the integral 2-piece swiveling wheel nut does not rotate freely, install new
swiveling wheel nuts as necessary.
NOTE: Only tighten the nuts finger tight at this stage.
10. Install the wheel and tire and install the wheel nuts.
WARNING: Re-tighten wheel nuts within 160 km (100 mi) after a wheel is reinstalled. Wheels can loosen
after initial tightening. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious injury to
vehicle occupant(s).
NOTICE: Failure to tighten the wheel nuts in a star/cross pattern can result in high brake disc
runout, which accelerates the development of brake roughness, shudder
and vibration.
NOTE: The wheel nut torque specification is for clean, dry wheel stud and wheel nut threads.
NOTE: Final tightening to be performed with vehicle resting on tires.
11. With the weight of the vehicle on the tires, tighten the wheel nuts.
• Torque:150 lb.ft (204 Nm).
12. If equipped, Install the wheel cover.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Federal law prohibits selling motor vehicle parts or components that are under
safety, compliance, or emissions recall. Unless a part is requested to be
