I raced Stangs that constantly broke their 7.5" ring gears until Ford upgraded them to 8.8" diffs. The ST's rear axle bolt issue (of which the jury is still out on it's fix and number of occurrences) seems small for right now. At this point, I'm not going to overreact and just wait to see...

I'm not an engineer, but if a hardened bolt is all it really needs then I'm ok with that. Otheriwse, Ford knows that not fixing the issue opens them up to laswsuits.

Dealer Service Departments go by what they see on their computer. Their hands are tied in most cases.

That's my take on it as well.

I don't know about you guys, but this is all very confusing.:unsure:

Ford decided Gorilla Glue won't slow the ST down like a good flash would, so they rejected it.

For now, I don't even think Ford knows what they're going to end up doing. Especially since they're putting off a "fix" date until end of Q2.

So much for their being the "Ford Authority". Lol NHTSA isn't currently showing any recalls on my 2022 4WD ST either (even though my build date supposedly falls within the range of 22S27).

As MrHoward said, yours is good to go. Unfortunately, mine isn't. Probably the same guy who said "We can fix this with a pcm update."

Maybe having the rear end fall out of the vehicle during stressful driving is part of the "ST Driving Experience"? Nope!

Good News!

hahaha Well, I had a bunch of new performance cars that remained bone stock, including a trio of Mustang GT's, a Fusion Sport, a Taurus SHO and a KIA Stinger GT.

I sure hope so! I didn't plan on modifying my ST, so hopefully everything should be good to go (there's that word "hopefully" again Lol).

I want my low end torque! And I want it now!

As did I, but now I have a brand new vehicle who's axle bolt could break off at any time!

They'll say "You have your full 400 hp, but the torque management parameters have been adjusted."

As of today, there are no recalls posted for my ST on NHTSA (note the refresh date of 4/21/22) but there is a note about it on MyFord (which posted it a week earlier on 4/14/22)...

I didn't read through all 23 pages of this thread, could someone please tell me how many owners have actually experienced this failure? Maybe I should start a specific thread "Who has had a bolt failure on their subframe?"

Yup, as of now we're definitely short on info.

What was the build date on your ST? Mine was ordered on 11/17/21 and built on 3/17/22.
