— Certain Ford Mustang steering wheels may have lifespan issues, according to a recall on 2022-2023 Mustang vehicles.
More than 30,700 Ford Mustangs may have an assisted steering torque sensor that is not calibrated correctly.
The interesting part is as follows.
The issue could cause the Mustang’s “steering wheel to turn left or right against the driver’s intent.”
Ford described the problem in detail:
“The secondary digital torque sensor in the steering unit is calibrated with reversed polarity. If the primary steering torque sensor fails or malfunctions, and the polarity of the secondary digital torque sensor is reversed, the steering wheel may begin to wiggle without warning (alternating clockwise/counterclockwise) when the driver attempts to steer. The wiggle is due to the electronic power steering providing unintended steering assist.” — Ford
Ford launched an internal investigation in May after suppliers said there were problems.
Ford is aware of two warranty claims but has not received any reports of accidents or injuries.
Ford Mustang recall letters should be mailed on August 5, 2024, and dealers will update the power steering control module software.
Ford Mustang owners concerned about steering issues should call 866-436-7332 and ask for recall number 24S44.
