Details

Issue: On certain vehicles, the bolts that attach the electric power steering assist motor to the steering gear may corrode and break.

This could cause a loss of power steering assist.

This recall applies to vehicles originally sold or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador).

Safety Risk: A loss of power steering assist may result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low vehicle speeds.

This could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to replace the bolts and apply a wax sealer.

If one or more of the bolts are broken or missing, a new steering gear will be installed.
