Anyone hear about a wheel recall ? I was talking to my dealer today and they told me that my truck was on hold because there was a recall on the rims or tires and they had to see if mine was one of then before they would deliver it.

 

Huh? What size? And which wheels for which trim levels?

 

p275/65r18 owl a/t standard rims and tires that come on the fx4 screw

 

Any idea what they are recalled for?
Those are the rims I have on my FX4 and I have noticed that the rim bead is scratched or appears that way and I have never come close to curbs or anything for that matter.

 

Sorry no word yet they just told me that the truck was in town on a railcar but that it was being held until they find out if my truck is affected by the recall or not. Its very frustrating I can't seem to get a lot of info from them.

 

Your not the only one with lack of information. There are others, myself included, who seem to have trouble getting straight answers on where a vehicle is in the delivery stage.

 

Ya I agree its starting to get on my nerves, but this is the only truck that I could find with the color, size and options I wanted, I have tried 5 dealers to locate it and now that I have one there's not much I can do but wait. Otherwise I would just go somewhere else but as far as I know this is the only left anywhere on my side of the country lol.

 

Will someone post a pic of the recalled rims please

 

I would love to post pics of the rims but for some reason my account say's "I may not post attachments" I have no clue why this is. I have the 09 FX4 with the standard rims also and I would like to know more about it myself. (the recall that is)

Maybe a moderator can fix my account so I can post attachments like everyone else can!!

 

I do not know anything specific about a Wheel recall,but when the dealer damaged my 20 inch wheel on my Lariat,and had to replace it, the first two that were sent from the Ford parts warehouse were so badley warped they could not even be balanced.I do not know who makes the Wheels for Ford ,but it does not say much for there quality control,to even release these too the Factory.

 

Just download your pics on a site like photobucket then post the link. That'll fix that problem
