STEERING:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2022 F-59 vehicles. The bolt that secures the intermediate steering shaft to the steering gear box may be improperly tightened, which could result in separation of the intermediate steering shaft from the steering gear box.
- What it can cause
- Separation of the intermediate steering shaft from the steering gear box can result in the loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the intermediate shaft bolt, replacing it if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 1, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S13.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 72 vehicles this is a small campaign: 74% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the steering 29 times before this, most recently in February 2022 as 22V089000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 5 complaints with NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 23V164000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 22V925000 (fuel system, gasoline), 22V528000 (steering), 21V202000 (suspension).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on March 11, 2022 as campaign 22V145000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
