STEERING
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024 F-150 vehicles. The steering gear assembly may have been assembled with an incorrect rack, which can cause the gears to fracture.
- What it can cause
- A fractured steering gear can cause the steering to bind or lock, resulting in a loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the steering gear assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 19, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S04.
- 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 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 3 vehicles this is a small campaign: 97% 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, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the steering 41 times before this, most recently in August 2024 as 24V591000. 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, 17 of them before this campaign was filed. 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 January 17, 2025 as campaign 25V022000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
