Just 3 ?! How about F call the individual owners directly and have the local dealer stop by for a quick fix. Maybe a few Bojangles gift certificates to ease the pain of the " Recall ".
I can't think of a more basic problem than not tightening a bolt properly. I mean come on Ford. Everything you assemble has a torque spec and your assembly tools all tighten to that torque.
What the hell Ford!?!? You guys can't even tighten a bolt properly????
