Description of the problem	Recently, this car started intermittently displaying the "power steering assist fault" code and at the same time the steering would seize up when in motion. This has now happened twice within the last 2 weeks. On investigation, 2011 lincoln mks vehicles with the 3. 5l gtdi engine (my vehicle) were supposed to be covered by recall 15s18 which addresses this exact safety situation. When i called both the ford dealer and the ford customer service line, they indicated this vin is not covered and that they could do a diagnostic check at the dealership but under no circumstances would it be covered (translation--i get to pay for any repair). It is clearly not safe to drive. How can ford justify not covering this car when the recall was quite large in scope and cars of the same year, same model, same engine were specified in the recall? Thanks!

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
