Hundreds of F-150s are being recalled after a mix up at the Kansas City Assembly Plant, which saw trucks outfitted with the wrong fastener
Ford is recalling a few hundred 2024 F-150 trucks due to a potentially faulty fastener used in the lower steering shaft. An error at the Kansas City Assembly Plant led to the wrong part being used, which could loosen and cause a complete loss of steering control. Despite the potential danger, Ford isn't aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue. If it’s a day that ends in y, you can bet a Ford got recalled.
In particular, the safety recall report says a “box of fasteners intended for another use was incorrectly delivered to the station that secures the lower steering column I-shaft and mixed with the correct fasteners.” This occurred at the Kansas City Assembly Plant and wasn’t immediately noticed. However, on April 11, an incorrect fastener was found and this sparked an investigation. This eventually lead to the discovery of a mix of fasteners with different sizes and material types .
