Hi all

im Aaron from Liverpool

currently got Ford Mondeo Titanium x Mk5 2015 

great page 😊

Hi Aaron, welcome and check out the posts on the Mondeo section regarding power steering bolts if your un aware of the issue. 

Hi Welcome

Hi

 

As Ian says above, do a bit of reading about the steering bolts. I admin a Mk5 UK group with quite a few members in the North West, might be worth you joining us and seeing if you can chat with them about Forscan modifications and enabling features on your car. Depending on the engine you my be able to get a remap for less than the price of a takeaway!

Did you see the email I drafted for people to use? It preempt’s their response by answering the questions they will ask. 

If you didn’t use my email then they will email back asking for further information regarding your vehicle. Who did you send an email to?

Good Morning\Afternoon Mr Barrat

I am the owner of a 2015 Mk5 Ford Mondeo, it has been brought to my attention via social media and internet sources that there is a potential safety issue with the aluminium bolts that hold the power steering motor to the steering rack. It is my understanding that said bolts have been known to shear and allow the parts to separate, causing a loss of power steering and potentially effecting the ability to control the vehicle safely if this were to happen at speed, not to mention the cost implication of repairing the issue. My main concern is that as this is our family car, which my wife and young children are frequently on board, it poses a significant safety risk to them.

In the American market the affected vehicles were recalled and remedial action was carried out at no cost to the customer, at present this has not been rolled out in the UK. Again from sources on social media and internet I understand that Ford UK are in the process of investigating the situation and will be issuing advice very soon.

I am keen to have my vehicle checked at the earliest opportunity and made safe if it is found to have the aluminium bolts. I am aware that you will require some information about the vehicle and it’s history, so to expedite the process I have included the details I think you may require moving forward;

Registration & VIN
Confirmation you are the registered keeper as per the V5C document
Have you booked your vehicle into a Ford dealership for diagnosis, if so where?
Your full address including postcode
Your preferred method of contact.

I would appreciate your timely response to this email and look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards

Henry Ford
