This happened at 1500 miles while driving fast. The cause was a missing bolt that held the plastic in place under the front lip. Ford fixed it at no cost to me.

one of the very few assembly problems in my '19 was 3 missing push pins in the front driver side wheel well. adding rokblox flaps freed up several push pins. worked out

The missing bolt underneath caused the push pins to fail and the tire did the damage. I would suggest that owners check to make sure the bolts are in place before any high speed runs.

It's a piss poor design.. they should have used metal clips with screw fasteners.

A fat raccoon destroyed my right front fender liner one night. The whole front part popped loose and was scraping on the road, so I had to stop and tear it off before I drove home.

Glad I’m not the only one who has completely destroyed their right fender well.

Me to on this, last year after some higher speed running, (way north of 120 mph) My dealer thought i was missing some push pins from the factory, after both front liners replaced, and after several high speed runs, seems to be repaired correctly, and holding!
