The 2020 Ford F-59 has two recalls, both rated at the same severity level, with the most serious being a steering shaft bolt that may not be properly tightened and can separate from the steering gear box, causing complete loss of steering control.
The second recall involves insufficient rear axle lubricant that can damage and seize the rear wheel bearings, leading to rear axle or driveshaft failure. When that happens, the vehicle can lose drive power, the parking brake may stop working, and the transmission may not shift into Park, all of which raise the risk of an uncontrolled rollaway or crash.
