JAKARTA - Ford withdrew the very popular F-150 after finding that the weight-taking package was not too tough, which may be worrying for thousands of Americans.

To be precise, 103,174 units of combustion-powered F-150 were produced between January 2023 and May 2025, although only truck owners equipped with Max Tow packages and a sturdy 9.75-inch HD back were to worry about.

Quoting from Carscoops, Wednesday, August 13, the brand found that rear-wheeled hubAs bolts on trucks designed to pull heavy loads could break due to fatigue.

If this happens, this could lead to micro-movement between the spline hub and the AS-axis spline which should remain locked.

Even if you are in a corrosive environment in the snow belt state or navigating warmer areas, as a result, there may be wear on the spline that can eventually cause the truck to roll over, or not provide thrust while in two-wheel drive mode.

Ford estimates only 1 percent of the 103,000 trucks were affected, although they already handled 194 guarantee claims. However, no one wants to invite a disaster when it comes to trucks that might pull a trailer weighing 6,120 kg.

The F-150, which is currently being produced, and is likely to remain on sale until the next F series arrives in 2028, has an updated rear gardan with a redesigned spline geometry, larger contact areas, as well as M24 studs and nuts.
