Details
What's wrong: The rear lower control arm (rlca) bolts that attach the rear lower control arms to the wheel knuckles may not have been heat-treated, which could cause them to break.
Why it matters: Broken rlca bolts can cause a loss of steering control, and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace both rlca bolts, free of charge. The recall began on April 2, 2021.
