SWOLLEN LUG NUTS - On 26 September 2022, my right rear tire picked up a nail causing a flat tire. After removing the spare, lug wrench and jack, I found the Ford factory lug wrench would not fit on the lug nuts. I required road side assistance for which I was billed $95 for the call (subsequently reimbursed by my insurance company). When the road side assistance serviceman arrived, he said it was a common Ford problem. He had larger sockets and easily installed the spare. I purchased replacement 20 lug nuts for $42.39. Reimbursement would be appropriate. Fortunately, the event occurred mid day in temperate weather in a small town where I could easily pull out of traffic. If it would have occurred during the dark during inclement weather, the outcome may have been disastrous. A recall for replacement of these lug nuts is appropriate.
