Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 7,442 electronic power assist steering (EPAS) gears sold as replacement parts for several vehicle models. These parts were sold for use in 2018-2023 Ford Mustang, 2018-2020 Ford F-150, 2018-2021 Ford Expedition, and 2018-2021 Lincoln Navigator vehicles. The steering torque sensor may be improperly calibrated, which can cause the steering wheel to suddenly turn from side to side on its own. Dealers will provide a free software update for the Power Steering Control Module or a refund for the part.

Risk

The steering wheel may turn unexpectedly against the driver's intentions due to a sensor calibration error. This sudden, unintentional movement can lead to a loss of vehicle control and significantly increases the risk of a crash.
