What is wrong: The u-clip style nuts that retain the front bumpers to the front bumper inner arms can fracture.
Risk: If one of the u-clip nuts fractures, the bumper will loosen and rattle causing fracture of the remaining u-clip nuts, resulting in separation of the bumper from the vehicle. If the bumper were to detach from the vehicle while it is being driven, a vehicle collision could result.
Remedy: Inspection and replacement of the four u-clip nuts and the associated bolts.

1993 ford f-150 4wd front bumper can off, all bolts missing only 1 u-clips present and it is broken. Yesterday (7/22/2010) I had traveled to my sisters home, about 2 miles from my home. On returning I parked my truck as usual and went into my house. About I hour later as coming out of my house and heading for the garage, that was when I noticed that the front bumper was tilted down on the passenger side. I went to the front of the truck and was able to lift the front bumper up off the frame. It was just hanging on. I've called the local ford dealer and they told me that it was my problem. I did check the federal safety agency web site and found that there had been a recall on my truck back in 1994 (#94v018000). This afternoon I did call the ford customer center about the issue and their reply was yes there was a recall for the truck but not for mine because it was made at another place. I really do not understand, it that recall had limitations why are they not shown on the recall summary? The same issue happened to my truck as the recall shown? Thank you,

The right front side frame next to the control arm bracket has completely rusted through and broken in half rendering the vehicle undrivable. I have had the truck to the dealer (not the dearler where it was purchased in 1995) for inspection of the frame and it was determined that the frame is very thin and rusted about a foot on each side of the break. I have filed a complaint with ford and have talked with the service manager at progressive ford tom byers and also his ford rep nancy crowe and was told that the truck was too old and had too many miles on it and therefor ford would not repair it. I expressed my concern that I felt this was a safety issue as it involved the main structure of the vehicle and should not have broken as it has never been involved in an accident or been abused and was told by nancy that she didn't care as the original factory warrenty had long since expired. I stated that a truck frame should last more than 9 years without disintegrating and was again told there would be no compensation from ford on repairs or replacement and I was also told that the truck should not be driven. I believe I am not the only truck owner with this problem as I am being told by nancy crowe.
