Consumer Description

I HAVE RECENTLY HEARD A POPPING SOUND WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT MY VEHICLE AND STATE THAT THE RACK SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THERE IS A CHANCE THE STEERING CAN LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE ARE RECALLS ON FORD EXPLORERS FOR 2011 TO 20014 BUT NOT 2015. WHY? IT IS THE SAME ISSUE JUST A DIFFERENT YEAR.
