Consumer Description
I took my 2018 ford f-150 to my dealers service center for the 6 month service.I was told by the service clerk the mechanic was having trouble removing the wheels lug nuts because they were swollen.These are two piece steel and aluminum lug nuts.In removing these lug nuts to rotate the tires the impact wrench and socket has caused lug nuts to swell up.I am concerned about the safety of these lug nuts being able to secure the wheels.Ford motor company has not made a recall on the lug nuts but I have seen and heard of numerous complaints about the problem.It is impossible to get these lug nuts off with the standard lug wrench supplied by the ford factory. please investigate why ford has not made a recall. Thanks Dan.
