Ford F-150 Broken Axle Bolt!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 тра 2023
- If you have a 2021+ Ford F-150 with the Max Towing Package, I would periodically check for that broken Axle Bolt. Some users have reported a rattling noise coming from the rear.
The Ford dealer claimed they did "the recall" on it, but I haven't found any official recall, or even an official TSB yet... - Авто та транспорт
One of the F-150 forums has a huge thread on the max tow axle failures. Some folks have lost three axles so far. So sad that Ford has been replacing these axles for 2 years and yet they haven't fixed the design and are still building and selling max tow trucks with the defective axle design. Farley was BSing when he said Ford was going to be concentrating on improving quality.
I'm just worried what will happen when my warranty is up. Not sure if I want to hang on to the truck past that
glad to see posting a new video. I will now look into this axle bold for my 2022 F150. Just had two other (minor) recalls done last week, and the dealer did not mention anything about axle bolts. and yes, a summary from you on your experience with your F150, both good and bad, would be a very interesting video for your followers, including me. after about 20 months and 27,000 miles, I can say i can give my F150 around a B+ grade. Mostly due to all the computer issues, mostly minor, but still annoying. and funny thing was the dealer was not able to "fix" a single electronic/bug problem last week. Even with their "best" electronic wizard technician. And, of course, they blamed all the connectivity issues with Android-Auto on Android..... but dealerships still have a poor reputation for their service. so once I hit the 36K mile warranty end, I will use my excellent local mechanic for things.
Thanks for posting all the videos. Picking up my 23 Powerboost today and I am watching all your videos. Sure hope they fixed some of the issues. No recalls listed (so far) on the FordPass acct. You've got another subscriber!
Thanks! Most of the issues have been resolved thankfully!
Congrats on the new truck!
I have a 22 Powerboost with Max tow and I have just scheduled my second axle bolt repair at 32k miles. First failure was at 27k miles. Disappointing to say the least.
I have a 2023 Powerboost Max tow. Axle bolt broke yesterday. 12K miles
Great insight; as I’m looking at the rear axle: for being a fairly new truck. The surface rust is more then I would think. I’m new owner of a XLT 2.7L we tow a Grand Design XLS 22mle.
I had all Toyota trucks before decided to go with my 2021 f150. I now have a lariat supercab, with the max tow. Had the axle bolt broke on me 4 times…. I only had 30k on mine. The 4th time it happened, Ford gave me a brand new rear end. So far so good now. Def not a good experience for a first time ford owner. Not to mention the tons of other recalls like the wind shield wiper motor, the rear emergency brake module, tail gate unintentionally opening, head unit not updating, and all the time I can’t use my truck because it’s sitting at the dealer waiting on parts.
One just came into the dealership with this issue. Thanks for posting this
Unreal. This recall applies to my 2021 and I was just told by my dealer that i could be charged for the diagnostic if they don't find the issue.
Happened to me yesterday when getting g new tires on my 2022 Ecoboost. Has Ford done anything to prevent from happening again. I have 22,000 miles on my truck.
Pretty annoying that they can't be troubled to out things back together properly. Makes you wonder what they did that you can't see.
Yeah I was surprised, they were quick, but maybe too quick
The lack of attention in putting the truck back together is all too common at Ford service centers. I have a truck under recall for this issue. This is the fourth recall issue in a year. I thought quality was job one at Ford.
Well if the wheels not coming off, whats the big deal?
Looking at a 2021, with max tow it’s priced better then other trucks around and I’m pretty sure this may be the reason why! Have you had any other issues?
So far so good. And our new trailer is about 10k pounds
Just happened to my 2021 F150 Powerboost with max towing package - right rear axle.
2021 @ 38,000 miles and snapped off while driving away from a stop sign. Lost all power to the rear wheels.
Do you know if they fixed the root problem or just put the same thing back on my f150 just went in for the exact same thing and I have a camping trip book in the next two weeks glad I brought it in when I heard the rattling noise
From what I have read so far it is the same part. Which is unfortunate if true
I had my 2021 F150 Powerboost in nine months after experiencing this issue and thought it was repaired. However, my truck had been at Ford for ten days now for the same rear axle bolt. I was told the first repair wss only replacing the same bolt as they didn’t have it figured out at that time. This recall item is supposed to be the actual repair explained in this video. Hope that helps? Very frustrating but if you hear a clicking noise and there’s no nail in the tire, that’s a dead giveaway it’s happening.
Sounds like a class action coming
My 2021 powerboost been on dealership shop 6 weeks tomorrow. Called me and said I had broken axle.
Just found my both rears snapped off on my 2021 F-150
Houdy Folks, I just got this Recall on my 2022 F-150 LARIAT. I'am only at 6 K on the ODO. 😂. Is this "COMMON" to one side or the other with MAX TOW??? Or both or could it be Either Side??? Thanks.
Mine was passenger side, but they replaced both sides
Thanks, Good to know.
Just happened to mine right rear.
This just happened to my truck yesterday... shocked ford decided to go with a bolt versus a nut.
It seems like they just didn't spec the strength correctly, hopefully the new one lasts longer
@Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost I am more nervous they are putting same quality back on.
Dealer confirmed new bolts are higher strength.
@@juliussenn2443 Dealer is full of **it. One of the F150 forums has a huge thread related to max tow axle failures and several people have had multiple failures (including failed replaced axles).
I don't have confirmation either way yet, but the forums do seem to trend in the direction of it being the same bolt and they simply changed the torque specs as they believe the factory was over torquing them.
Just happened to my wife’s 22 3.5. Right rear as well less than 10k miles
Same thing happened to mine. Right rear..wtff
@@wesleywilliams1186 found out they over torqued hers
Happened to me too at 20k on my powerboost
happened to me yesterday on my powerboost 23' 13k miles..
I had the same thing at less than 20k miles.
Yeah I am only at 15k. Some people on the forums were less than 10k. This needs to be a recall.
@@notallwhowanderarelost2024 agreed, my tailgate was opening unintentionally also, that took several trips to the dealership. You would think ford would know how to build a truck after all these years. :)
Just happened to me at 30k
Just happened to my 2022 F-150! Frustrating!
Hopefully whatever they replace it with is better and not the same part. If you get a chance to ask them 😉
Was your Recall on the AXEL Situation the Right side Also? IE, Passengers Side? I have a 2022 F-150 with just under 6K Miles on it. No Noise that I can hear as of yet...
Yes it was the passenger rear. I have had it break twice on me now. @@kendavis1198
45k for me
