What's wrong, in plain English
Certain Ford Mustang vehicles that were previously repaired under an earlier recall may still have a steering sensor that isn't calibrated correctly. This can cause the steering wheel to turn side to side on its own, against what the driver is trying to do. That kind of unexpected steering movement can make the car hard to control.
What you should do
2. Contact a Ford dealer, or Ford customer service at 866-436-7332, to have the power steering control module software updated.
3. The repair is free.
