WASHINGTON, DC (Viral News) — Global automotive manufacturer Ford Motor Company has officially announced a massive 2018-2022 Ford safety recall affecting more than 200,000 sport utility vehicles and sedans in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the recall specifically targets certain models manufactured between 2018 and 2022 due to a critical defect that may cause a sudden loss of steering control.
Officials state that the issue originates in a steering gear component that may have been improperly heat treated, leading to potential separation.

The company will begin notifying affected owners on March 24, 2025, with dealerships providing a free replacement of the steering gear assembly. Drivers are urged to visit the official NHTSA website or contact their local Ford dealer immediately to verify their vehicle identification number and schedule a repair.
