In 2020, there was a recall for the Ford F-150 power steering hose for model years 2018-2020. It is recommended to change the power steering fluid every 75,000 miles. When changing fluids, be attentive to any noises coming from the steering components. A loose bearing may produce an irritating noise, while a faulty one can create a more unpleasant sound. Having responsive steering is crucial for safely maneuvering on the road, but issues may arise over time. The steering pump may become loose, posing a serious risk to your vehicle. Problems can also arise with the strut bearings or rack mount. Look out for potential leaks in the steering fluid, veering to one side, or experiencing a stuck steering wheel.
Ford has faced problems with power steering hoses across various products starting from 2004. In 2020, a recall was initiated for certain 2018-2020 F-150 models, along with recalls for specific 2014-2015 Ford and Lincoln vehicles due to concerns regarding the power steering pump.
