6312c7a8-64d9-4d82-bf06-e586d46033b1.jpg

Recall Reference Number: 24S07

Offering every owner excellence and a reliable experience matters to Ford, so we have issued a safety recall for some 2021–2022 Ford E-Series vehicles.

In some vehicles, the fitting between the power steering pressure line and the brake Hydroboost unit may not have been properly connected. This could cause a leak or sudden loss of power steering fluid.

Parts are now available, and customers can take advantage of complimentary pickup and delivery at participating dealerships. If your vehicle passed the 22S08 Safety Recall before January 29, 2023, you will not need to have this work done since the chance of a failure is extremely low. In the unlikely event that this issue surfaces in the future, we will make a one-time repair. To see if your vehicle is included, enter your VIN here.

To have this repair completed, please take your E-Series vehicle to a Ford Dealership or Lincoln Retailer. You can book an appointment online, in your FordPass App, or contact your local Ford Dealer.

For any questions or concerns about the 24S07 Safety Recall (2021-22 Ford E-Series), please call us at 1-866-436-7332. A Ford Recall team member will be happy to assist you. Please know that we care about quality and constantly work to improve it for our customers.

As always, thank you for being a Ford Owner.

Yes, however, part of the remedy for 22S08 was to inspect power steering lines and the connection between the power steering lines at the Hydroboost unit and replace them if necessary. Vehicles included in this new recall, 24S07, will automatically have parts replaced with no need for an inspection.

Do customers need to complete both 22S08 and 24S07?

It depends on when 22S08 was completed. Vehicles that received a passing inspection for 22S08 on or after January 29, 2023, and those that have not yet completed 22S08 will need to complete rcall 24S07.

What if my vehicle was inspected prior to January 29, 2023 and has the issue?

Ford is offering a one-time repair to address the small number of vehicles that may experience a leak or disconnection of the power steering lines at the Hydroboost unit more than one year after their 22S08 inspection.
