Component
STEERING:RACK AND PINION:PINION SHAFT
What Happened
The pinion shaft is a crucial part of your steering system, connecting the steering wheel to the front wheels. In some 2005-2011 Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Car models, it might not have been properly installed after a previous repair.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pinion shaft breaks, you could lose control of your vehicle's steering, which could cause a crash, especially at high speeds or when merging onto a busy highway.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will inspect the steering system and replace the pinion shaft if it needs it, all at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible after receiving the recall notice.
