Ford Recalls 129k Cars due To Faulty Wheels
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the bolts in the wheel might fracture and over prolonged use break resulting in the wheel coming off from the car. Ford has said so far it had received six reports of the wheel coming off in either the Ford fusion of the Mercury Milan.
Ford which has conducted an investigation into this issue has stated the fault could be in the wheel mounting pads or rear brake disks being incorrectly built. The Ford fusion and the Mercury Milan cars to be recalled were built at Ford"s Hermosillo stamping and assembly plant in Mexico in April 2009 and from December 2009 through Nov. 13, 2010.
