Ford Service Steering Gear: Steering recall
NHTSA campaign 24E055000 · 7,442 units potentially affected · filed Jun 28, 2024
What's wrong
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain electronic power assist steering (EPAS) gears, sold as replacement service parts for certain 2018-2023 Mustang, 2018-2020 F-150, 2018-2021 Expedition, and 2018-2021 Navigator vehicles. The secondary steering torque sensor may not be calibrated properly, which can cause the steering wheel to turn side to side against the driver's intentions.
Why it matters
A steering wheel that turns unintentionally can cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will update the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) software or provide a refund, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 16, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S45.
