Ford Explorer: Wheels — hub

Affects Ford Explorer · 2011–2017 — about 630 vehicles.

The hazard

A loss of the wheel or wheel end can increase the risk of a crash.

What to do

Ford will notify the distributors of the hubs specifying that they are to only be used on drive axles. It is believed that none of the hubs were purchased from Ford dealers for the incorrect application. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
