Thanks for the link. Easy job. Mine are 17.7 version - vin just under 1000.
This was rectified as part of a campaign when my software was updated. I think it was just a case of a double nut solution
I was thinking of how annoying it must be for the French when the prominent flags on the vehicle seem to be British and German. Just a stick on reference to France on the rear, side window.I don't want to carry a whole factory in my car
Otherwise it isn't "made in Hambach" anymore
They are probably thinking the Germans are going to invade again.
Woah. Step 7 gives me ptsd from commissioning Siemens simatic systems.
I know I'm being pedantic. It's clearly a typo. The takeaway is that an M16 locking nut of not less than 17.7mm height is fitted in each instance.

This is a manufacturer's safety recall notice released via a US Federal Agency. Evidently the Ineos drafter, reviewer and approver all missed the typo. The NHTSA guys also missed it, or chose to overlook it.
It's sloppy work.
Full confession: I'm in the aviation business and my curse is that I tend to think and act like an Engineer, where 'Engineer' can be characterised as 1 part vocation and 3 parts affliction
For the sway bar. Not the drag link/tie rod. Which should always be locknutted, and marked with ink to prove it's been torqued right.

Just for some context61 affected vehicles : VIN range begins with SC6GM1CA0RF010858 and ends with SC6GN3CAXPFP10148
INEOS Grenadier Recalled Over Potential Steering Rod Ball Joint Disconnection
An estimated 61 units of the Grenadier for the US market may have been produced with incorrect steering rod ball joint nuts
Don’t get me on about defense contracts, I lost an OZ passport via RR. But I digress. I’ve passed this sentiment on multiple times. Trust me. There’s been a bit of kicking off about a few things with the literature.@Clark Kent : had I been 20 yrs younger we may have crossed paths!

On a related subject, the layout and content of the Owner's Handbook in its present format is, in my view, singularly unfit for purpose, and represents the very antithesis of Ineos's mantra "form follows function"
but I digress...!!
Imported F150 vehicles go through a Second Stage Manufacturing (SSM) process for conversion from factory LHD to Australian RHD before first registration. Australia has an impressive capability for this work with factory-backed and warranted conversions. It's a low sales volume alternative to establishing a RHD product line at the factory, and allows for the import and sale of vehicles that would otherwise not be available in our market.
Boeing can build great aircraft and can do some amazing engineering. I have great respect for them as a company. One of the many great US manufacturing institutions.
