Just received delivery of 2015 "Retro" Brave 26A. Noise under front driver's side turned out to be loose shock bolts. Reading various forums it appears that this is the 3rd new Brave with this issue. As you know, Detroit Chassis assembles the F53 chassis for Ford and seeing this 3 times in a short time was of concern.
New Brave owners out there: Enjoy your Brave (we are) but watch out for loose shock bolts.
I've seen a few posts mentioning loose shock bolts. All on Braves. Maybe Winnebago loosens the shocks during their assembly process? Odd it would only happen to Winnebago Braves...
I would report that directly to the NHTSA, just in case Ford is chooses to pretend it is not safety related or is waiting to gather statistics before an initial report. Workforce errors in assembly are not usually unique.

I'd think a call to them might be a good thing. They may actually appreciate it especially if posed as feedback versus a complaint.
