Steering problems with two Montgomery County police cruisers prompted the county to pull 324 of its about 1,400 cars from the street for inspections Tuesday, according to Department of General Services Director David Dise.

The steering mechanism in a Ford Crown Victoria failed in July. When a second Crown Victoria had a similar problem about a week ago, the Montgomery County Police Department decided to pull all of the 2005-through-2011 Crown Victorias from the road.
