## What is wrong

Ford is recalling certain model year 2013 Fusion vehicles manufactured April 19, 2013, through April 23, 2013.  The steering gears may be missing an internal retaining clip.  If the clip is missing, components inside the steering gear may become dislodged inside the gear assembly.


## What can happen

This could result in impaired steering, including the loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering gear, free of charge.  The recall began on June 17, 2013.  Ford's recall number is 13S06.  Owners may contact the Ford customer relationship center at 1\-866\-436\-7332.
