Ford road salt or other contaminants may corrode the electric power steering gear motor attachment bolts.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the steering electric power assist system. Here is what owners need to know.
Road salt or other contaminants may corrode the electric power steering gear motor attachment bolts.
If the bolts corrode, the steering gear motor may detach from the gear housing resulting in a loss of power steering assist, requiring a greater steering effort, especially at lower speeds, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering gear motor bolts and apply a wax sealer, free of charge.
