2020–2021 Ford F53: Suspension recall

What's wrong

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2021 F-53 recreational stripped chassis vehicles. The rear stabilizer bar attachment brackets may break and separate from the vehicle.

Why it matters

Brackets that separate from the vehicle can create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will inspect the bolt tightness for both rear stabilizer attachment brackets and replace the weld nuts and bolts, as necessary, free of charge.
