STEERING:COLUMN
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024 F-150 vehicles. The steering column lower shaft may have been secured to the steering gear assembly with an incorrect fastener, which can result in the separation of steering components and cause a loss of steering control.
- What it can cause
- A loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the lower steering shaft fastener, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 22, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S32.
- 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 385 vehicles this is a small campaign: 52% 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 one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the steering 36 times before this, most recently in February 2024 as 24V097000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 185 complaints with NHTSA. 4 of those name the steering, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V578000 (fuel system, gasoline), 26V104000 (electrical system), 25V512000 (power train), 25V315000 (back over prevention).
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 May 10, 2024 as campaign 24V329000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
