I started my 2012 Lincoln Mkt 3.5L the steering was hard to turn and the dashboard error message reads 'power steering assist fault. I google it and it showed that the 'power steering assit fault error message was on recall on June 2015. I towed the car to Lincoln on 1610 waukegan ave glenview il, the service manager said after the diagnosis that the steering gear should be replaced. I said okay thinking that since the error message was on recall it will be free. But when I was picking the car I was charged $2806.21. My question is should I pay for this recall repaits?
