Consumer Description

This is in regard to problems with the lug nuts on my 2016 Ford F150. The truck has approx 31,000 miles. I can no longer use the lug wrench provided by the manufacturer (Ford) because the lug nuts are "swollen", according to the dealership. The dealership refused to rotate my tires because of this issue. They advised Ford would not warranty replacement of the lug nuts. They admitted the lug nuts were "defective". This is definitely a safety issue and should be repaired at no cost by Ford. Please issue a recall on these lug nuts.
