What a shocker. Steering detachment. Hand-assembled by people from the jungle ?

Supplier issue on steering column shaft welds.
Interesting to see if this will be whole column module out, my bet is Ford will check every one of them very closely and try to get all of them cleared if possible. Maybe they can access the welds on the lower end of the stering column..... |

Cars are a complex machine, there is always some risk of a fault or assembly issue. The manufacturer can only improve upon it and ensure it is not repeated. As others have stated this issue is very recent and likely to do more with the supplier.

Only one month's worth of stock, so less than 3,000 vehicle.

Should never have got through qc.
Nobody checking welds on critical parts? Not good enough.

Terrible c0ck up from the new area of global ute production and we are very fast indeed to point the finger back at local production.
Your virtue has been signaled gentlemen and it is very high indeed. Is anyone doing QC there?
