What the defect is
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.
What gets fixed
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.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 8 March 2021.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Additional notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
