Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Lug nuts could not be removed with manufacturer's lug nut wrench, after a tire deflated while driving on interstate 75 in kentucky. The wrench would not fit over the lug nuts. An aftermarket lug nut wrench would also not remove the nuts (21mm was too small; 22mm was too large). The lug nuts on the wheels are original manufacturer installed nuts. Car had to be driven on the flat tire to service center for wheel removal, destroying the tire in the process.”
NHTSA complaint #11296910, filed 2020-01, 102,000 miles“According to local dealership, a common problem with lug nuts swelling. Dealer couldn't remove wheels and rotate tires in accordance with tire mfg. (goodyear) guidlines.”
NHTSA complaint #11360336, filed 2020-09, 76,000 miles“The factory installed lugs nuts have become swollen and now the lug nut wrench which is provided by Ford does NOT fit the lug nuts! If I tried to change a flat tire I would be unable to do this since the lug nut wrench does NOT fit the lug nuts!!!!”
NHTSA complaint #11434693, filed 2021-09“Ford dealer told me the lug nuts were a bad two piece design and he has had to replace many of them by drilling out the studs and replacing them. Encouraged proactively replacing the 2 piece lug nuts with a new one piece design for a cost of $128 for 4 tires. Not covered by warranty/extended but this seems ridiculous for a vehicle that's 6 yrs old. I see lots of references on the internet to this issue. Seems like a straightforward bad design and obvious recall issue.”
