2020 broken axel nut

[Vipersinu2]

For the mechanical folks, I thought you would like this.

My neighbors 2020 f150 with 6k miles

The front cv axel snaped off, the cv shaft then pushed into the pumpkin

Destroying the front pumpkin.

Lets hope this is not a trend headed to the expeditions or navigator

Warranty?

Was there no grease?

Sounds like a safety issue.

Yes this is under warranty,
The truck is few months old.
Safety Hazzard only b/c the front wheels locked up while driving.

This is not a grease able part.
This is the nut you see when you take off the tire.

Here is a stock photo.

Over-torqued?

 

[Vipersinu2]

Maybe bad steel.
Could be a cold spot in the steel.

You wonder if this truck should of been part of the 7000 trucks the UAW messed up?

If it's a torque issue, these things are supposed to be done automatically to reduce error, there's currently another recall on explorers for similar issues for other parts. Feels like another looming recall.

Probably a different line though, so may not affect our vehicles. But ford better get a hand on this QC, or they will be begging for a bailout which used to be a point of pride (for not taking one).
