STEERING
Published March 3, 2015 · Recall initiated: March 3, 2015
What's the hazard
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain Motorcraft STG-454 service replacement steering gears manufactured July 1, 2014, to October 17, 2014. These steering gears are for use on 2008-2010 model year F-250 and F-350 vehicles equipped with 6.4L diesel engines. The affected steering gears may not install properly, and as a result, there may be insufficient clamp load on the joints which may cause the steering gear retention bolts to fracture.
What to do
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install a spacer between the steering gear and the vehicle frame rail to ensure adequate clamp load on the joints, free of charge. The interim notices were mailed on April 22, 2015. A second notice will be mailed to owners when parts become available. A remedy began on July 13, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15S08.
