The 2021 Ford F-59 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a steering shaft bolt that may not be properly tightened, allowing the shaft to separate from the steering gear box and causing a complete loss of steering control.
The fuel system also carries a fire risk: paint along the fuel tank's weld seam can peel, exposing bare metal that corrodes and eventually leaks fuel, which can ignite if it contacts a heat source. On the drivetrain side, insufficient rear axle lubricant can damage and seize the rear wheel bearings, leading to axle or driveshaft failure that cuts drive power, disables the parking brake, and may prevent the transmission from shifting into Park.
