“Took my truck into a Ford dealership for an oil change and they gave me a part that broke off the left rear hub. Talked to service dept they said safe to drive unless I hear knocking from the back of vehicle. Also the part to fix it is unavailable. My concern is they said it's ok to drive but the wheel could come off of the axle.”
NHTSA complaint #11718305, filed 2026-02“Ford has known about this potentially dangerous recall for 4 months and parts to repair still not available. Our car has been looked at and determined that repair needs to be done. I just talked to Ford and there is no ETA for the parts to repair and many vehicles on the road that need repair. There is something wrong.”
NHTSA complaint #11704548, filed 2025-12“We have an incomplete recall, we have been told not to drive vehicle since the wheel end hub bolt is broken by Ford. We have been in touch with Ford dealership as well as Ford Motor Co. since November 13, 2025 and are still waiting for the part. It’s been now 2 months with no estimated date given.”
NHTSA complaint #11710525, filed 2026-01“Received recall 25S82 rear axle half-shaft and hub assembly replacement in August of 2025. Dealer confirmed in September 2025, both right and left components need replaced. I was told parts are on order. I check on the recall parts each month and told various stories. For instance. 1. Only one OEM manufacturer of these recall parts 2. Only large dealerships are getting them. 3. First come first serve, yet reports on social media that some Ford owners are getting repaired in two weeks. 4. Tied to VIN number, not tied to VIN number. …”
NHTSA complaint #11724441, filed 2026-03“The bolt related to this recall inevitably broke on 11/23/25 at 43,842 miles. Ford of Upland took my truck and provided me with a loaner vehicle for about a month and a half, until demanding that I return the loaner vehicle. I had no choice but to take my truck back as I do not have a second vehicle, and they didn’t offer me a solution. At the time of writing this, I have put ~800 miles on the truck since the bolt sheared off. It is now making a terrible noise from the rear end, which I have expressed to Ford of Upland, Colley Ford, and Ford Customer Service.. with no resolve. …”
