Defect
On certain F-150 Lightning (electric) trucks, the nuts for the ball joints that connect the front upper control arms to the steering knuckles may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the upper control arms could separate from the knuckles. If this happens, there could be a loss of steering control.
Safety Risk
A loss of steering control could create a risk of a crash.
Remedy
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect for loose and/or missing nuts. If any loose or missing nuts are found, the dealer will replace the steering knuckle(s) and nut(s).
