STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
EVENT_SUMMARY
Your vehicle's steering system has a small part called the electric power assist system that helps make steering easier. This part is at risk of being damaged by road salt or other corrosion.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
If the damage happens, you might lose power steering assist, making it harder to steer your vehicle, especially at low speeds. This could increase your risk of getting into an accident.
RESOLUTION_PROTOCOL
Ford will fix your vehicle for free by replacing the damaged bolts and applying a protective coating to prevent future damage. If the bolts are already broken or missing, they'll replace the entire steering gear instead. The dealership will contact you to schedule the repair, which is already underway.
