Consumer Description

I purchased a 2021 Ford F-150 pick-up truck for my business in September 2022 with ~12,000 miles. I took it to my local auto mechanic on Sa-11/26/22 for it's first oil change & tire rotation at ~15,000 miles. Upon my mechanic rotating my tires, he found the sheared-off axle bolt on the rear/passenger side (pictures & mechanic write-up available). My mechanic stated he believes the axle bolt was over torqued/tightened in the factory and not a result of daily driving usage... Answers to Above Questions: > Rear/Passenger Side Wheel: Axle Bolt SHEARED-OFF; Pictures & mechanic write-up available > My mechanic informed me I was a very "lucky" person that I didn't get into a serious vehicle accident due this axle bolt being sheared-off; I was strongly advised by my mechanic that I should NOT drive my truck until repaired > My truck was towed to an authorized Ford dealership and is awaiting inspection & service (earliest available appointment is W-12/7/22, meaning I will be without the use of my truck for AT LEAST ~12 days!!!!!) > As stated previously, my truck is currently at an authorized Ford dealership awaiting inspection & service. Upon me doing Internet research, Ford does not have any listed recalls for this issue, but there are plenty of Ford forum sites detailing the EXACT same issue(s)!!!, so there definitely is a BIG problem! > There were no warning indications/messages displayed in my truck prior to learning of the problem.
