STEERING:COLUMN

Issued by Ford Motor Company · Reported Dec 15, 2023 · 17,970 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2023 F-150 and Ford SD F250, F350, F450, F550, and F600 vehicles. The steering wheel clock spring may have an insufficient weld, causing a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag.

Consequence

A deactivated air bag will not deploy during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the clock spring as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 3, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
