What Happened
The pinches bolts on your vehicle's steering system keep the lower control arm connected to the steering knuckle. These bolts might not be tightened properly, which could cause some issues.
Risk if Unfixed
If the bolts are loose, you might hear strange noises or feel vibrations while driving. If left unchecked, this could lead to a more serious problem where the joint separates or the ball joint stud breaks, which could make your vehicle harder to control and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will inspect the pinches bolts on your steering knuckle and tighten them as needed, free of charge. If you don't get the repair done within a reasonable time, you should contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332.
