Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | At 42000 miles my car developed some noise with the steering. There was rubbing noise coming from behind the steering wheel whenever i was turning at low speeds such as when i'm pulling in or out of parking. When i took the car to a ford dealership, i was told the noise was coming from the steering rack and it would need to be replaced. I'm aware there's a recall 14s18 that addresses this issue, but my car isn't covered because it wasn't manufactured at the date that affects that recall, so i'm asking for recall 14s18 to be expanded to include vehicles built at the same time as mine. |
