The outer shell can corrode, swell, and delaminate making it difficult or impossible to remove the lug nut with a standard lug wrench. This is a common issue among Ford models and can lead to drivers being stranded with flat tires.  There was a Class Action suit started in 2017 that was subsequently dismissed.  I feel that this is negligent on Ford's behalf as it is a known design fault and safety issue and they should be issuing a recall to replace these lug nuts at no cost. I agreed to have Ford replace the lug nuts as I was concerned for my safety, should I need to get the lug nuts off.  The cost was $267.95 plus 6% tax = $284.03. I was also informed that the replacement lug nuts are the same design and are only guaranteed for 2 years.  I fail to understand why this safety issue doesn't warrant a recall to be issued and I should be reimbursed for my replacement.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"ESCAPE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
