Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Lincoln dealer advised during an unrelated servicing of my 2015 MKZ that the lug nuts were swollen and presented a danger and major problem with the definite hazard of not bring able to remove a flat tire on the roadside with the standard tire wrench. I see that my situation is not unique and repeated many times over based on reported cases. I believe that a Ford/Lincoln recall is the proper outcome to reimburse yhose already impacted and s replacement for those owners unknowing of the dangers involved.
NO DISCERNING ISSUES LEADING UP TO THE TIRE FAILURE, IT'S BEEN MULTIPLE FAILURES, INDUCES BY POTHOLES OR ROAD GRATES YOU WOULD NORMALLY ENCOUNTER WHILE DRIVING. IN 2 INCIDENTS THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES FAILED COMPLETELY RIPPING THE TIRE SIDEWALL OPEN. ONE SIMPLY JUST FLATTENED THE TIRE, AS OF NOW, THE SHOP IS CLOSED TODAY SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S REPAIRABLE YET.
