STEERING

Manufacturer
Ford Motor Company
What Happened
The lower intermediate shaft is a critical part of your steering system, connecting your steering column to your wheels. In certain older Ford Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, and Town Car models, corrosion can cause this shaft to seize, leading to a serious problem.
Risk if Unfixed
If the lower intermediate shaft fails, the steering column could collapse, causing you to lose control of your vehicle. This could lead to a crash, especially on the roads you're most familiar with.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will replace the faulty intermediate shaft, inspect and repair any damage to the upper shaft and steering column, and install a retainer clip if necessary — all at no cost to you. Just schedule the repair when you get the recall notice.
