Ford urgently recalls hundreds of vehicles over safety fears: ‘Stop driving’

  • Ford is recalling F-150 pickups
  • Risk of loss of steering control

Ford Australia has issued an emergency recall for F-150 pick-ups and urged motorists not to drive them as they risk losing control.

The recall affects locally remanufactured Ford F-150 models produced between 2022 and 2023.

“As a result of a problem with the overhaul process, the steering gear intermediate shaft may become loose from the steering rack, resulting in loss of steering control,” the company said in its recall notice.
