What happened

Dorman Products is recalling certain aftermarket replacement steering shafts sold for 1995-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Car vehicles. The affected steering shafts, manufactured between April 17, 2014 and September 28, 2015, may separate during vehicle operation if the integral fastener is loose or missing and the vehicle's shaft is compressed in length. If separation occurs, drivers would lose steering control, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Dorman will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective steering shaft free of charge. The recall began on October 28, 2015. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492, option 5.
