2014-2018 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ Recalled For Steering

Ford will be contacting the owners of certain 2014-2018 Ford Fusion and 2014-2018 Lincoln MKZ sedans regarding a problem affecting the steering system.

According to the defect report, the thread overlap between the steering wheel bolt and the steering shaft may not provide adequate contact for proper torque retention. The steering wheel bolt could loosen over time and eventually detach from the steering column completely. The driver may notice a wobble in the steering wheel if the steering wheel bolt becomes loose.

Those receiving notices will be asked to return to their dealers to have the steering wheel bolt replaced with a longer bolt. Read the full report here.
