## What is wrong

A loss of steering control can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the steering column intermediate shaft bolt, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed on February 14, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 24S48.
