Consumer Description

I took my truck in for it's first oil change and tire rotation. I was called by the dealer a few hours later and told that when they pulled my rear tire off, the rear rotor axle bolt was seared and the vehicle is unsafe to drive. As the tire had never been removed previously they said it had to come from the factory that way, and that I was lucky the tire did not fall off while driving the truck. I was told the parts would be ordered and repairs done under warranty but it's been over a week with no information or results. I researched the internet and found hundreds of owners experiencing the same issue with the rear axle bolt being seared, apparently at the factory. If this makes the vehicle unsafe for the road and it's obviously affecting 100's of vehicles that I can find in some internet search, the problem is likely much worse. I have the exact issue reported in this forum at https://www.f150forum.com/f129/2021-powerboost-rear-rotor-axle-bolt-sheared-515460/.
