Details

On certain vehicles, Ford has issued a scheduled maintenance guide update which specifies that every 20 000 kms, the steering linkage, which includes tie-rod ends, should be inspected.

The vehicle owner is asked to place the tie-rod end inspection procedure supplied with this maintenance guide update in the vehicle's glove box for reference and safekeeping.

The vehicle owner is to provide the inspection procedure to their repair facility to help properly identify worn tie-rod ends.

Performing the vehicle scheduled maintenance, including maintenance inspections, is the responsibility of the vehicle owner.

Failure to replace worn tie-rod ends may eventually result in a tie-rod end separation that could adversely affect steering control.

If the inspection reveals that a tie-rod end is worn and must be replaced, the repair will be at the owner's expense unless the vehicle is still covered by the basic vehicle warranty, or has an extended service plan coverage that includes these components.
