2022 F-53, F-59 Recalled Over Rear Caliper Bolt Safety issue

Ford Motor Company has issued a recall for select 2022 Ford F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models due to a rear caliper bolt safety issue.

The defect: in affected vehicles, the rear brake caliper attachment bolts may not be tightened correctly, which can allow the caliper to loosen and possibly damage the wheel or brake lines.

The hazards: a damaged wheel can result in a loss of tire pressure. A damaged brake line can cause a brake fluid leak and reduce brake performance. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Ford is not aware of any injuries or accidents related to this issue.

Components:rear caliper bolts

Affected vehicles: select 2022 F-53 Class A Motorhome stripped chassis and F-59 commercial stripped chassis units assembled between October 24th, 2022 and November 29th, 2022.

Number of affected vehicles: 644

The fix: dealers will inspect and tighten the rear caliper bolts, as necessary, free of charge. In addition, any damaged bolts will be replaced, free of charge.
