According to dana's part 573 defect notice to the agency, "the tie rod may become loose in the steer axle, causing significant auditory warning and/or looseness in steering. If a vehicle operator continues to operate the vehicle in spite of this advanced warning, the tie rod may in rare instances become disconnected from the knuckle." dana stated that they are aware of one customer complaint of tie rod separation that took place on another oem's vehicle. Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.
