Good find there bpd1151. Z

MARCH 14, 2018 — Ford is recalling nearly 1.4 million cars because the steering wheels could detach from the steering columns.

The 2014-2018 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars may have steering wheel bolts that loosen over time and fail to hold the steering wheels.

Ford says it knows of two crashes and one injury caused by the loose bolts.
Ford breaks down the recall as 1,301,986 cars in the U.S., 62,479 in Canada and about 14,172 in Mexico.

Keeping costs in line means passing on some of the QC to the end users!  C'mon everyone should be familiar with this business model
