Wheel Bolts problems of the 2018 Ford F-150

Twelve months ago I took my truck in for service and was informed that the rear lug nuts were compressed and needed to be replaced. I did so and paid over $130. Yesterday, I again took my vehicle in for service and was informed that the front lug nuts were compressed and paid $141 plus labor to have those replaced. Dealer indicated that this was a common issue found on Ford F-150 vehicles. When I asked if there was a recall on the lug nuts, the service manager said, "no, but there should be. " I find it unusual that lug nuts have this type of problem. . . . . I have been driving for 53 years and always have my tires regularly rotated and balanced and have never in the past been told the lug nuts had failed and required replacement. Have you had other complaints regarding Ford lug nut compression?.
