NHTSA Complaint #11445283 — 2014 FORD FUSION

I purchased the car from Carvana in February of 2021. 2 months after purchase there were issues with the steering. I brought it to a mechanic to find out that the bolts had corroded and were completely sheared off causing the steering gear motor to be seperated from the steering gear. I found that this make and model (and year) of my vehicle is well known for this exact issue and was subject to a recall in august of 2019 (recall number 19V632000) however my VIN is not flagged as having this issue (which it clearly does as i cannot even drive my car now). My car was originally sold in Michigan and according to the carfax has remained in areas where road salt would be an issue for the bolts in question. I have contacted Ford and been told there is nothing they can do. It is now a very costly fix and i still owe on the car. It is clear that the recall needs to be expanded to additional VINs immediately. Incident date reflects date car was officially diagnosed at an official ford service center. Ford uses sub par bolts and as such a system that should last the life span of the car did not and i am left paying. The diagnostic report was vague and wrong - a recall fix was never completed
