NHTSA Complaint #11162769 — 2014 LINCOLN MKZ

WHEN I READ ABOUT THE STEERING WHEEL BOLT RECALL IN JUNE 2018 I CHECKED THE CONDITION OF MY STEERING WHEEL BOLT AND DISCOVERED IT WAS LOOSE AND WAS THE BAD DESIGN THAT WAS BEING RECALLED. I WAITED FOR A RECALL NOTICE THAT NEVER CAME AND WHEN I CHECKED WITH DEALER IN DECEMBER 2018 THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW BOLT AND WILL INSTALL MYSELF. HOWEVER, I AM STILL QUITE CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE MAY STILL BE AT RISK OF INJURY. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE ORIGINAL NOTIFICATION BY FORD LISTS THE PRODUCTION DATES THAT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. I PERSONALLY OBSERVED THE LOOSE STEERING BOLT ON MY VEHICLE AND BAD DESIGN. FOR SOME REASON, NOT ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLE OWNERS ARE BEING INFORMED OF A PROBLEM . I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2017.
