Failure Date: 06/07/2019

Safety recall 15s14 - steering gear motor bolt failure. Ford issued recall 15s14 which impacted my vehicle. The press release states: "customers located in non-corrosion states or provinces will be covered by extended warranty if they experience similar concerns. Dealers will replace steering gear motor attachment bolts on customer vehicles with new bolts, seal them, and replace damaged steering gears at no cost to the customer. " the Ford motor company technical service bulletin to dealers states for sold vehicles "dealers are to remove the original steering gear motor bolts, install revised bolts, and apply sealant to specified areas of the steering gear. If any of the original steering gear motor bolts are broken, missing or break during removal, dealers will replace the steering gear assembly. This service must be performed on affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. " for new in-stock vehicles "dealers will apply either valugard rust inhibitor aerosol vg-101a or daubert nox rust� 7703-w to specific locations on the steering gear. This procedure should only be performed on new in-stock vehicles because these vehicles have not had the potential to accumulate corrosion damage in the steering gear motors with time in service. " our vehicle was purchased new from the dealer and we're told they sealed the bolts prior to sale in compliance with this recall however the bolts failed at approximately 50k miles resulting in separation of the steering gear and loss of power steering, making it difficult to turn, especially at low speeds. Ford recall actions for new in-stock outlined in the TSB did not prevent the failure from occurring and did not align with their press statement. Their sealant was a patch solution which bought them time without addressing the root cause which was faulty bolts.
