Ford Fiesta: Failure of the steering

25/07/2023

Ford is recalling 267 Fiesta model year 2023 to the workshop worldwide. The reason for the recall is a faulty tightening torque, which can lead to the loosening of the swivel joint and, thus to the collapse of the steering.

In the workshop, the screw/nut of the lower ball joint of the front wheel suspension is tightened or replaced. The KBA monitors the measure under the reference number “012894” and the internal manufacturer code is “23S29“.
