| Ford is recalling more than 1 million vehicles to fix a problem with steering wheels that can detach from the steering column. Ford says it�s aware of two accidents and one injury that may be related to the issue. ### 2014-2018 Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ Steering Wheels The recall involves approximately 1.38 (1,378,637) million select 2014-18 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles. Ford says the issue is related to potentially loose steering wheel bolts. According to [Ford�s Press Release](https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2018/03/14/ford-motor-company-issues-two-n-a--safety-recalls.html): > In affected vehicles, the steering wheel bolt may not maintain torque, allowing the bolt to loosen over time, and if not serviced, a steering wheel could potentially detach and lead to a loss of steering control and increased risk of a crash. Recalled vehicles include: - 2014-17 Ford Fusion vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Aug. 6, 2013 to Feb. 29, 2016 - 2014-18 Ford Fusion vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, July 25, 2013 to March 5, 2018 - 2014-18 Lincoln MKZ vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, July 25, 2013 to March 5, 2018 |
