Details
What's wrong: The steering wheel retaining bolt may loosen allowing the steering wheel to detach while driving.
Why it matters: A steering wheel detachment can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering wheel bolt with a longer bolt, free of charge.
