Description of the problem	Bought truck less than a year ago with 28k miles on it. I now have 37k and my service advancetrac light would come on intermittently. I noticed too that the steering felt kind of clunky and would make a strange grinding type noise, mostly at low speeds. I brought it in to a local dealer and they diagnosed the problem and had to replace the steering rack. $1754. 00! When i bought the used, very low mileage, one owner truck i thought i struck gold. Not quite, but love the truck otherwise! A poorly designed steering system seems to be common for these. Shame on ford for not owning up to this problem. More about profit i guess.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
