Description of the problem	Recall: 14v286000 recall date: 05/29/2014 component: steering:electric power assist system hello, i own a 2012 ford explorer limited. We received the recall several years ago from ford. We then took it to the dealership and had the recall completed. Here recently, the steering has intermittently become very difficult to operate when first started up and first moving. So far, we can regain operation by shutting off the vehicle and then restarting. It seems obvious that ford's "fix" for this recall did not address the issue. We are now nervous that this will show up while on the highway. We are now facing the high cost of replacing the rack and pinion.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
