Ford Recall 03S07: Ford/Pitman Arm To Steering Gear Retaining Nut
2003 Ford F-150
If the pitman arm to gearbox attachment nut loosens, a noise and a loose feel in the steering could occur. If the condition progressed and service was not sought, the nut could back off completely and the pitman arm could separate from the gear causing a loss of steering. If the warning is not heeded and steering is lost, a crash may result.
