{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2017415","date":"2017-08-30","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Steering","summary":"On certain vehicles, the steering gear heat shield fasteners may have an incorrect coating that could cause the heat shield to corrode and detach. This could expose the steering gear system to higher temperatures and could cause the steering gear to overheat, which could result in a reduction of steering assist until the gear cools. If the steering gear electrical connectors were to melt, it would result in a sudden loss of steering assist.  A loss of power steering assist could unexpectedly increase steering effort, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the fasteners and replace as required. Note: In the event of a loss of power assist, the message \"SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW\" would be displayed in the instrument cluster.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"17S23","part_number":null,"units":9,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Direction","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Dans certains véhicules, les dispositifs de fixation de l'écran thermique du mécanisme de direction pourraient présenter un revêtement incorrect qui pourrait entraîner la corrosion et la séparation de l'écran thermique. Cela pourrait exposer le mécanisme de direction à des températures plus élevées et pourrait provoquer une surchauffe de ce mécanisme, ce qui pourrait réduire l'assistance de la direction jusqu'à ce que le mécanisme de direction refroidisse. Si les connecteurs électriques du mécanisme de direction fondent, cela causerait une perte soudaine de l'assistance de la direction. Une perte de l'assistance de la direction pourrait augmenter de manière imprévue l'effort à exercer sur le volant, ce qui augmenterait les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter les dispositifs de fixation, ainsi que les remplacer au besoin. Remarque : En cas de perte de l'assistance de la direction, le message \"RÉPARER SERVO DIRECTION IMMÉDIATEMENT\" s'affichera dans le groupe d'instruments."},"vehicles":[{"year":2017,"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER","vehicle_id":"2017_ford_explorer","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2017,"make":"FORD","model":"POLICE INTERCEPTOR SEDAN (TAURUS)","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2017,"make":"FORD","model":"POLICE INTERCEPTOR UTILITY (EXPLORER)","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2017,"make":"FORD","model":"TAURUS","vehicle_id":"2017_ford_taurus","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/2017415"}
