    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    235 reported incidents out of 250,000 total vehicles effected = .094% Put another way, 99.906% of effected vehicles have not reported any rear axle bolt failures. That matches my Poll results almost perfectly (98.9%).

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    1-87 Knowing how forums naturally attract those who are experiencing problems with their products, that statistic is pretty amazing.

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    Ford sold 488,824 Explorers since 2020. About 20% of my local inventory are ST's, which extrapolates to a total 3 year run of 97,764 ST's. 1 reported break on an ST dedicated forum with almost 100k ST's on the road is a more than relevant indicator. It seems indicative Ford issued the recall...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    So critical use First Responder vehicles still have to wait 5 more months for the fix, and in the mean time don't even get the e-brake software update. I wonder if LEO's have been notified not to stand in front of/behind their patrol units after they've put in in Park and exited.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    All of the vehicles built with the 1 rear bolt are by design. Or were they? Only a Ford insider could tell us if it was truly a mistake or not. So confusing. I waited and got a 22 so things like this would've already been ironed out. Who would've guessed ...

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    Tune, don’t tune, I think ford would fix your car either way if it were to actually break. it is happening on stock STs That'd be my guess too, they'd just fix it it that were the only issue. And so far, the poll has it at 1-86. My guess it's extremely rare on stock ST's.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Not much of a priority if LEO's have to wait until Q3. Drive it like a rental?

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    They still recalled all 3 model year retail versions and will perform e-brake software updates, and hardware updates on 20/21 police interceptors. Well, certain one's but still within all 3 model years.

    So what do you all do?

    And according to the recall notice, that's just for police interceptor units and not retail units. Right? Retail just gets the e-brake flash.

    Sport Mode rattle

    My only rattle seems to be that pesky on again/off again flex-pipe-at-idle-noise that was there from day one.

    FORD: "We don't need no stinkin' RH seat belt covers!"

    So what do you all do?

    Ford would never hire you, because all of the bolts in your designs are accounted for. hahaha

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    What I don't get is that the recall covers all model years 20 & 21 & 22. I mean, did they run out of 2 bolt subframes in each and every year?

    Can you design a Stealth ST for us? ;)
