Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) has issued a recall for the F-250, F-350 and F-450 lines of its pickup trucks over a defect that can lead to steering issues.
Steering Column May Detach, Says Ford
The issue, which affects over 115,539 units of the 2020-2021 line, stems from a defect that can cause the upper shaft of the steering column to detach and a loss of steering control, the NHTSA said in a statement released on Tuesday. Ford dealers will replace the steering column as a remedy for the issue free of charge, the agency said in the statement.
