Ford Motor Company theses vehicles were assembled with incorrect steering gear adapter plate retention fasteners.
The short version
FORD MOTOR COMPANY reported a problem with the steering. Here is what owners need to know.
Theses vehicles were assembled with incorrect steering gear adapter plate retention fasteners. Steering gear adapter plate fasteners could lead to torque loss in the steering gear attachment, potentionally leading to loosening and subsequent separation of the stearing gear over time.
Separation of the steering gear may lead to a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering gear adapter plate retention fasteners, free of charge.
