Reason for the recall:

The steering wheel may no longer return to the middle position due to a loosened pin in the steering box that can cause the pinion shaft to come loose from the steering rack casing. This could lead to a loss of steering, increasing the risk of an accident.

The Ford Kuga vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 14 January and 19 November 2021.
