Ford Mustang steering wheel may turn by itself
critical How serious is it? About this label
Very serious: the wheel can turn against your intentions with no warning, which can cause a loss of control and a crash, so get this done immediately.
What's wrong, in plain English
These Mustangs were already in the shop for an earlier steering recall, and that repair was not done correctly. A backup sensor that reads how hard you are turning the wheel may not be set right. Because of that, the steering wheel can move side to side on its own, even when you are holding it steady and not trying to turn. The dealer will load corrected power steering software at no cost to you.
