(Reuters) -Ford Motor Co is recalling 115,539 vehicles in the U.S. due to a defect that could cause the steering column’s upper shaft to detach, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday.
The issue, which can potentially lead to a loss of steering control, affects vehicles from model years 2020 through 2021, and includes F-250, F-350, and F-450 vehicles, the U.S. auto safety regulator said.
Ford dealers will inspect and repair or replace the faulty component free of charge, NHTSA said in the notice.
