What can go wrong

It has been identified that a small number of Fiesta and Fusion vehicles may have been built with a steering column which may have suffered damage by inappropriate handling prior to vehicle production. In rare cases there may be damage to the column upper universal joint which could result in loss of steering control.

The fix

Recalled vehicles will have the steering column universal joint inspected for signs of damage. If damage is found the steering column assembly will be replaced.

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
