I just heard about the two piece lug nut problem. The websites seem to disagree on what models had this problem. I have a 2018 Titanium Escape. How can I tell if mine are two piece or not? It looks like they are aluminum, and a magnet is weakly attracted to them. Do I have to remove one and destroy it to tell?
This one says the problem was through 2015: https://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.co...lling-problem/
These one mention 2018: https://www.carcomplaints.com/Ford/E...s/wheels.shtml and Swollen and Stuck Lug Nuts - Ford Problems
This issue makes Ford look pretty bad. I could understand if they admitted the problem and fixed it(lug nuts must be one of the cheapest parts of the car), but to refuse to acknowlege it and let the lawyers and jusdge sweep it under the rug doesn't show much integrity.

 

Thank you for the info. There are even special sockets available to handle this problem.
