Nope. Never have.
The ball joints were made by Federal Mogul and are identical to the ones used on (drumroll) the GM full size pickups! Which also have the same problem and also haven't been recalled.
In 1954 Ford pioneered the ball-joint suspension; the original joints were made using a malleable iron socket and a machined steel ball fitted with grease fittings and dust boots and a recommended 3,000 mile/3 month lubrication schedule.
In 1957 Ford redesigned the assembly using stamped steel sockets as a cost-cutting move.
By the end of the year production on replacement ball joints for the 57 model had to be increased to keep up with demand; the entire 54-56 unsold replacement joints were scrapped beause they didn't wear out.
Read The Wastemakers (Vance Packard)just for fun. especially chapter six.
