What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (suspension component separation) that can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

WP Dynamics (ReadyLIFT) is recalling certain ReadyLIFT Lift Kits designed to fit specific 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. The recall involves 1,844 units.

The defect involves certain bolts within the Lift Kits that may not have been heat-treated properly. This condition can allow the bolts to break, which may cause the separation of the suspension lower control arm, radius arm, relocation bracket, or the crossmember from the frame or chassis. Separated suspension components can cause a loss of vehicle control or create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

ReadyLIFT will work with distributors to notify owners, and dealers will replace the bolts free of charge. The recall began on March 7, 2021. Owners may contact WP Dynamics customer service at 800-549-4620 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
