High risk Campaign 19E011000 · announced 09/02/2019 (7 years ago)

1. Steering

What's wrong, in plain English: If steering fails you can lose control of the car. The spindle may fail resulting in the wheel and tire detaching from the vehicle's steering system.

What could happen: Spindle failure can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Drake Automotive Group, LLC will notify owners and will replace all of the recalled units, free of charge. The recall began March 17, 2019. Owners may contact Drake automotive at 1-800-999-0289.

What to do

  1. Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 1967 MUSTANG.
  2. Book a repair at any authorized Ford dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 19E011000.
  3. The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
  4. Manufacturer hotline: 1-800-999-0289.
  5. Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.
