Latest Ford Transit recall?

[cadbury.01]

I just remember reading a recall thing that popped up for our vehicle under vin lookup and Im just wondering since I havent gotten news about any other recalls or of some sort lately. Anybody got info on this? This was the the recall notice I got last year.

This was dated August 09,2024

"Manufacturer recall #24S48
NHTSA recall #24V591
Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available
Summary:
ON YOUR VEHICLE, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE FOR THE BOLT SECURING THE STEERING COLUMN TO THE STEERING GEAR PINION SHAFT TO LACK FULL THREAD ENGAGEMENT.

Safety Risk:

THE BOLT SECURING THE NEW STEERING COLUMN TO THE STEERING GEAR PINION SHAFT MAY LOOSEN OVER TIME AND MAY DISENGAGE. IF THE BOLT DISENGAGES, THE STEERING COLUMN MAY SEPARATE FROM THE PINION SHAFT, RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy:

FORD HAS NOT ISSUED INSTRUCTIONS TO STOP DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE UNDER THIS SAFETY RECALL.

Ugh, yeah I remember that one. the steering column bolt recall. It's serious, like loss of steering serious but they've been dragging their feet with the fix. remedy is not yet available became their favorite

Has anyone in the Chicago area heard any updates on when they might actually have the parts for this fix? Maybe someone's local dealer has some inside scoop...

A bit hot off the press, like how the old guys would say it!
Ford just issued a recall due to engine failure, I read it here: https://www.kbb.com/car-news/ford-recalls-f150-explorer-transit-models-over-engine-failure/
I've also read that Ford has surpassed their total recalls of 2024 and we're not even past the first half of the year!

Hey, it looks like you'll just have to hang tight until Ford tells you when the parts are in. No need to do anything for now. I know, it's a bummer.
