If a steering gear attaching bolt fractures, there may be an audible noise at low speed and the steering wheel alignment may be off center.  If both bolts were to break, the vehicle might not respond to steering inputs which could result in a loss of control and a crash causing injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will replace the steering gear to frame attaching hardware.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"07S52","part_number":null,"units":3,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Direction","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, les boulons de fixation du boîtier de direction pourraient avoir été trop serrés pendant le montage du véhicule, ce qui pourrait affaiblir les boulons. Si l'un des boulons de fixation du boîtier de direction se brisait, on pourrait entendre un bruit à basse vitesse et le volant pourrait être désaligné. Si les deux boulons se brisaient, le véhicule pourrait ne pas tourner, ce qui pourrait causer une perte de contrôle et un accident, et blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les boulons fixant le boîtier de direction au châssis."},"vehicles":[{"year":2007,"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER","vehicle_id":"2007_ford_explorer","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2007133"}
