Readylift recall: Equipment
What is wrong
WP Dynamics (ReadyLIFT) is recalling certain ReadyLIFT Lift Kits designed to fit certain 2019-2021 Dodge Ram 1500, 2015-2020 Ford F-150, 2005-2016 Ford Super Duty, and 2017-2021 Ford F-250 and F-350 pickup trucks (please see the Part 573 report for lift kit part numbers). Certain bolts within the Lift Kits may not have been heat-treated properly, which can allow them to break. Broken bolts may cause separation of the suspension lower control arm, radius arm, relocation bracket, or the crossmember from the frame or chassis.
What could happen
Separated suspension components can cause a loss of vehicle control, or create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
ReadyLIFT will work with their distributors to notify owners, and dealers will replace the bolts, free of charge. The recall is began on March 7, 2021. Owners may contact WP Dynamics customer service at 800-549-4620.
