| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | While driving 65-70 mph down a state highway, our driver crossed a bridge that had a decent bump on the other side and the truck started to shake and became hard to control until it got slowed down to 45-50 mph the driver was able to regain complete control and the truck stopped shacking. The steering damper has a field service action in place fsa 20n04-steering linkage damper extended coverage. We have several 2018 f250 trucks that we use to pull enclosed trailers. When we tried to schedule them to be replace they would not do it until it was causing an issue. Had we had a trailer hooked up during this incident it could have resulted in a serious accident. This needs to be a urgent recall not a "field service action" |
