Steering loss

Within the last two weeks I heard and announcement on public radio news of Ford super duty losing steering due to gear shaft fractures. Fords response was that the fractures occurred due to the accident vs causing the accident. Has anyone heard anything relative to this and what year vehicle was involved? I thought it was 2000 or 2001 and involved something like 40,000 trucks.

I found an NHTSA case open on this: fractured steering sector shaft on Super Duty pickups (probably Excursion too).

You could go to the NHTSA web site and search for it. http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/index.html

I just did but couldn't find it - not sure why because I found it two weeks ago. Their search engine is picky about case sensitivity, etc.

The NHTSA investigation is on 1999-2000 Super Duty trucks and 2000 Excursions; a total of about 850,000 vehicles. Obviously not all the trucks have this problem.
