Ford is recalling 8963 F-150 pickups in the U.S. for steering shafts that can break, the automaker said today.
--
Poor riveting on the upper intermediate shaft can cause it to separate from the steering assembly on certain 2015 F-150s, causing a sudden total loss of steering. Ford said it knows of one report of steering failure but did not report any accidents or injuries. Another 3348 F-150s subject to recall are in Canada and 17 are in Mexico. Of the entire 12,328 total, 6722 are on dealer lots. Dealers will replace the upper shaft at a later date.
