A loss of the wheel or wheel end can increase the risk of a crash.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain Wheel Hub Bearing assemblies, part number HB5Z-1104-C, incorrectly listed as being for installation on the rear axles of 2011-2017 Ford Explorer 4X2 vehicles. These bearings assemblies were manufactured without a self retention feature, possibly resulting in the separation of the wheel or wheel end.

Saw a vehicle on cars.com that I found interesting so , I filled out the contact form...2 days later, I called them, as I hadn't heard anything, and was concerned it may have been sold. Nope. still there. owner stated that he was busy, and didn't have time to check email. okay...I can understand that. I asked him to be brutally honest about the condition of the car, as I live over an hour away. was told it was primo, just older, and higher miles. got a chance to swing by and look at it a couple days later. outside body was about 95%, so I was okay with that. silicone caulk around back window, however, was a concern. the interior was repulsive. needed about 8 hours worth of cleaning. vinyl door trim was falling off, but, i was assured by the owner that it would be fixed. ( i hoped better than the other one that was fixed., as that looked a lot like a first grader's art project)Ok... I've seen worse. I put a deposit on the vehicle, so my wife could come back and give it final approval. of course, I had to interrupt the other young man's texting to take my deposit, but, I digress. I informed them that I would fill out the online credit application, and intended to pick up the car Saturday. I filled out the credit app that night, the next day, around noon, I still hadn't heard from them, so I called...good thing, too. they hadn't checked their email. (noticing a pattern here) but, after bringing it to their attention, I was called, and informed that they had gotten approval. I asked what the terms were...he had no idea. I asked for the name and number of the finance company...had never heard f them, but, figured...how bad can it be? bad indeed. 24.99% Yup...dumped me into a "second chance" agency...didn't even bother to check anyone else. I really started to wonder at this point if they wanted my business. I asked the young lass (who actually was nice, and helpful) why I was looking at a payday loan interest rate. she explained that they are a second chance financier. I understand that, I said, but...look at my info. do I look like I am in need of a second chance loan? she agreed, and started to work on a more reasonable rate. Saturday rolled around, and we went there...To find the car had an all but flat left rear tire, 1/16th of a tank of gas (barely enough for a test drive)and door trim that still hung like curtains. My wife liked the car, but was also concerned about the silicone around a convertible back window. the owner assured me, that the top did not leak. I figured, let me check for leaks, and then I can go see the finance company..."they are closed Saturdays" he told me. Then, they went from being closed Saturdays, to open till noon (Nope...they are closed. tried to call them, to tell them to hold my application, I am coming to retrieve and destroy It) I took a garden hose, and squirted water around the back window. I would put the pressure on par with a light to moderate rain. it was coming straight from the hose, so it wasn't excessive. the top leaked like a sieve. there was about a gallon and a half of water coming in from a 2 minute hose application. in a hard rain, this vehicle would become an aquarium. Now, My day was about to get better. The owner came walking out, and I said "the roof leaks He shouted for his son to "refund the deposit...I'm sick of this Mustang...I'm outta here", and stormed off.. this is the OWNER...not the CUSTOMER...saying this! He threw a fit on par with a spoiled twelve year old. Not, my mechanic of 30 years , that has never missed a day (until today) can fix this I had just wasted two hours of travel time, a half a tank of gas, and was treated like a burden, start to finish... the son began to refund my deposit...no negotiation, nope...the end. the boss then actually reentered the building, stating he had taken keys to a Suzuki, stormed back out Nothing like being treated like crap start to finish, huh? wasted, time gas and tolls on this. unprofessional beyond words.
