WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) check recalls with your VIN on owner.ford.com or nhtsa.gov in order: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pIEbcQdEaHPj857mm_6cEfy_tLAa4ALe/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kk62ECuc83wLo4u0tC1xPCdwn977SIPR/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yC9oks7zhEhxsJzl45Pinxxdq4GbNBss/view?usp=sharing Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : Vehicles that did not receive proper application of wax coating that are operated in high-corrosion environments associated with exposure to road salt may experience corrosion of the steering gear motor attachment bolts. This may result in the steering gear motor becoming loose or detaching from the gear housing, although the steering gear motor will not separate from the vehicle. Ford is not aware of any reports of accidents or injuries related to this condition. Description of the Safety Risk : Steering gear motor detachment from the gear housing would result in a loss of power steering assist. The steering system would default to base manual steering mode, allowing the vehicle to be steered in a safe and controlled manner. The amount of assist supplied is inversely proportional to vehicle speed, with the highest levels of assist provided at lower vehicle speeds. Loss of power steering assist would require higher steering effort, especially at lower speeds, which may result in an increased risk of a crash. Description of the Cause : A corrective action was implemented to apply a wax coating to the steering gear bolts and interfacing surface of the steering gear. Testing has shown that the wax coating is effective at preventing corrosion when properly applied. Vehicle field inspection shows that the wax coating was inconsistently applied. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : Partial separation of the motor from the steering gear housing may result in motor whine, clunking noises, and illumination of the Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control malfunction indicator lamps. Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : Bosch Address : 15 Spiral Drive Florence KENTUCKY 41042 Country : United States Edited August 14, 2021 by WWWPerfA_ZN0W 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
