Wanted to make you guys aware of a safety recall that Ford sent info out on today. Some late 2022 and early 2023 model year that were produced from Sept. 15 2022 to April 5 2023, about 1,900 cars in Canada.
In all of the affected vehicles, the secondary digital torque sensor in the steering gear was
calibrated with an inverted polarity. If the primary steering torque sensor experiences a failure or
fault, the steering wheel may begin oscillating without warning (alternating
clockwise/counterclockwise) when attempting to steer, due to the Electric Power Assisted
Steering (EPAS) providing unintended steering assist.
Ford expects to have a software update available for this next month.
For reference, the recall number is 24S44.
Easiest way to see if your car is affected is to plug the VIN in here:
