FORD REAR AXLE HORIZONTAL MOUNTING BOLT DEFECT
Ford is a large American automotive brand of vehicles that range from sedans all the way to coupes and even SUV’s. Most cars have something called a rear axle mounting bolt. The rear axle horizontal mounting bolt is found on the bottom of the car and is not unique to Ford. However, only one rear axle horizontal mounting bolt is attached to the vehicle, making it unsafe. When this bolt fails, it can have catastrophic consequences. This bolt can fail while a motorist is using the vehicle, causing the motorist to lose complete control of the vehicle at full speed, risking catastrophic collisions with other drivers.
The specific Ford Explorer models affected are each equipped with a rear subframe assembly which provides critical stability-providing structure below the frame that supports the axle, suspension and powertrain includes but is not limited to:
- 2020-2021 Ford Explorer Police Hybrid Electric
- 2020-2021 Ford Explorer Police 3.3L
- 2020-2022 Ford Explorer 2.3L RWD
- 2020-2022 Ford Explorer Plug-in Hybrid Electric 3.0L
- 2020-2022 Ford Explorer Hybrid Electric 3.0L
- 2020-2022 Ford Explorer ST3 3L
While a recall has been issued for many of these models requiring two rear axle horizontal mounting bolts to be attached due to a federal investigation, there are many models out there that still pose a danger to consumers like you, and the mounting bolt detachment may have happened even before the recall.
