1 Wheel Bolts problem

Failure Date: 10/30/1999

Had not previously heard anything unusual. Have owned 2 other Suburbans besides this one. I was leaving a parking lot, turning left onto the street when I heard a pop. I then heard some rattling and squeaking. I pulled over and could not see anything, so I drove it home. . . About 5 miles. Took off the lugs:nuts cover and 2 broken stems fell on the ground with the nut still on them and the rest of the lugs: nuts were extremely loose. Had all the tires rotated at firestone on 10-7-99 and the mileage was 42,720. None of the other wheels were affected. All lugs: nuts were on tight except for this one wheel. Found out that Ford had a recall on all 1998 lugs: nuts on Ford f150 pick ups. . . Could this be related?.
