I'm on a ~4000 mile towing run and still running with the un-cool little bolts. Although they are shiny'er bolts than those ugly factory things. ?

Took mine in on June 9th, still waiting on the backordered parts. Supposedly one axle has come in, they are waiting on the other.

I got my truck in the queue on June 26th
at my dealer here in Virginia and at that time parts were expected mid July.

Today they updated and said Ford reported new ETA end of August.

I can confirm that Ford is now shipping trucks from the factory with the new nut design. My truck was built the last week of July 2025. I finally got around to replacing the one time use disposable OEM lug nuts with McGard's, so I pulled the rear wheel and took this pic.

Sorry for the same reply in so many threads - but there are so many threads on the same topic - haha. I'll stop posting now before I get yelled at :)

Mine has been in the shop (again) for 3 weeks after the “new final fix” assemblies went in and I experienced bearing failure on the left rear unit after 2 months of mostly highway driving (no tow). Replacement parts for the new are unavailable nationwide and may not have them for another 5 weeks. My SA says he suspects production problems.

So Ford is paying for my rental…sigh!

Geez , you really have gotten the short end of the stick from Ford on this recall. You would think they would make it a priority for you considering the failure of the redesigned part. Did you by chance get a look at the bearing failure or was your SA able to say if the bearing was poorly manufactured or was it in anyway incorrectly installed?

Best of luck, I was at my dealer yesterday now 3 months since they ordered the recall parts asking about status and they still had no idea when.

Are folks still having indefinite wait times to get this part from Ford? My dealer told me that they are backordered with no end in sight for arrival of the parts. Just want to make sure this is the truth

So inexcusable.
The interim fix was the same (original) axle design and was on hand or next day delivery for most folks.

If I don't have a sheared bolt, then I don't guess I'm too stressed about the current fiasco. But if I do/did shear a bolt, and the new designed axles were unavailable? Then fix my truck with the previous design so my truck is healthy and back on the road.

Similar. Although the latest I heard was 'sometime in December'.

I was more than a bit 'wrapped-around-the-axle' about this when the failure reports first started coming in. o_O

Now I'm 'long-chilled-out' (thanks for talking me off the ledge, @Snakebitten), hardly think about it, haven't even checked my dealer on availability of the remedy since a few days after it was announced (at that time they wanted to hold my un-broken truck to even open a work order for the parts :facepalm:).

I still haven't suffered a failure. 🤞

If I do, I'll be harassing the dealer for some action (without holding my truck). :whistle:

Otherwise ....
... when they come, they come...
:sunglasses:

But yeah, IMO, the lingering situation is pretty ludicrous at this point :crazy:
