Saw this while watching the news yesterday, FORD says to not drive your vehicle at all : Recall Alert: 2014 Ford F-150 - PickupTrucks.com News
Disclaimer: Links on this page pointing to Amazon, eBay and other sites may include affiliate code. If you click them and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission.
Vehicles Affected: About 4,700 2014 Ford F-150 pickup trucks, with more than 90 percent of which are in the hands of dealers or in transit. The affected vehicles were built between May 26 through June 19, 2014, at both the Dearborn, Mich., and Kansas City, Mo., assembly plants.
The Problem: The affected vehicles may have a motor-position sensor magnet in the steering gear improperly located and/or installed by the supplier. The defect could lead to impaired steering or loss of control, which could cause a crash.
The Fix: Ford will replace the steering gear free of charge.
What Owners Should Do: Ford is advising its customers to contact their local Ford dealer as soon as possible to determine if their vehicle is part of the recall.
Good observation!! Never clued into that part of it.Looks like it is for trucks with the electric steering rack (which would exclude Raptors):
At least Ford is always on top of this shit. They're like Apple in that sense. They see an issue and make a call to make it right for people instead of causing headache.
