Consumer Description

I performed a visual inspection of my front and rear sway bar brackets since I had heard that bolts are coming loose within 1,5k - 3k miles on the 2021 F53 chassis. I found that the rear sway bar bushing bracket on the driver's side was broken, and the bushing was missing. It appears that the lower bolt on the bracket had fallen out or was never installed and consequently created undo force on the bracket causing it to break in half. I am replacing both of the brackets on the rear sway bar, bushings, bolts and nuts. In addition, I will be applying blue locktite threadlock and torquing bolts to 184 ft/lb as recommended in the manufacturers repair manual. This problem is a safety hazard due to excessive sway after bolts come loose. In addition, the parts falling off on the road is hazardous to vehicle passengers following behind. I am concerned since this seems to be a common problem based on blogs and Facebook posts from other Motorhome owners recently purchasing a motorhome on the new F53 chassis.
