I have a 2022 Powerboost (4500 miles) with max tow, and can’t count how many posts I’ve read about these bolts snapping. Luckily, I haven’t had it happen to mine at this point, but just waiting for the day to come. What I’m trying to avoid is being stranded without a vehicle for a lengthy period, while my local shop can’t get the parts to fix.
My question is, can I loosen the current bolts, and torque to the proper limit? I’ve read anywhere from 80 - 100 ft lbs. I’ve also read you can’t reuse the same bolt, so should I order some new ones, remove the originals, then use these, torqued to the proper limit? Basically - a bandaid approach until Ford comes out with a formal recall. Thanks for your help.
