FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED IN SEPT, 1999 WHILE DRIVING WEST ON I-40 NEAR LEBANON, TN. SPEED WAS APPROX 70MPH, LOAD OF ABOUT 200 LBS IN TRUCK BED, 1 DRIVER, 1 PASSENGER. A BRIEF "VIBRATION" WAS FELT, FOLLOWED BY A LOUD, BRIEF BANGING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. I SAW IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR A PIECE OF RUBBER LANDING IN THE ROAD AND CARS SWERVING BEHIND ME TO MISS IT. I DIDN'T LOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, BUT DID IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER. I OBSERVED THE LEFT REAR TIRE AND THE TREAD WAS MISSING, EXPOSING THE STEEL BELTS AND OTHER FIBERS. IT WAS STILL INFLATED. THERE WAS ALSO DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK'S QUARTER PANEL AND TRIM AROUND THE TIRE OPENING. I CHANGE TO THE SPARE AND CONTINUED ON. I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER FR480 AT A LOCAL NASHVILLE, TN DEALER AND THE BODY DAMAGE REPAIRED. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED IN OCTOBER, 2000. DRIVING WEST ON I-10 NEAR TUCSON, AZ, AT A SPEED OF APPROX 65MPH, WE FELT A SLIGHT VIBRATION THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. WE SLOWED TO ABOUT 55-60MPH AND THE VIBRATION SEEMED TO GO AWAY, COMING BACK WITH MORE SPEED. WE DROVE THE REMAINING 125 MILES OF OUR TRIP AT A SLOWER SPEED AND SAFELY RETURNED HOME. THE NEXT DAY, WHILE DRIVING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP (LOU GRUBB IN SCOTTSDALE, AZ) I COULD FEEL THE STEERING WHEEL "SHIMMY" IN MY HAND, IN RESPONSE TO THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK. THE DEALER INSPECTED AND FOUND THE LEFT FRONT TO BE "SEPARATING" AND SUGGESTED IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT. I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO DISCOUNT TIRE AND HAD ALL 4 FR480 TIRES ON THE ROAD REPLACED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER'S. I STILL HAVE ONE FR480 AS THE SPARE. DOT # FOR THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS VDHL1M4808 AND THE SECOND TIRE WAS VNHL1PA413 (POSSIBLY VNHL1P4413). IT WAS HARD TO READ THE NUMBER. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VDHL1M4808 TIRESIZE: P235/75/R1)

SMELLED RAW GAS FROM THE TRUCK THIS PAST WEEKEND. JUST PURCHASED THE TUCK LAST MONTH. I FOUND THAT THE SEAM ON THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING GAS. I TRANSFED THE FUEL FROM THE FRONT TANK TO THE REAR,WHICH IS ALSO HEAVY RUSTED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, THE COST FOR A NEW TANK IS $175.00 FOR THE FRONT AND A LITTLE LESS FOR THE REAR PLUS LABOR AND ANYOTHER PARTS THAT MAY BE NEEDED. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO FIRE AS THE TANK WAS NEAR FULL, WITHIN FIVE GALLONS OF FULL!!!! I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEALER DOES NOR WANT TO COVER THIS COST OR EVEN PARTAKE IN IT AS SO MANY REPORTS OF LEAKING TANKS HAVE SURFACED, IN FACT THEY HAD ANOTHER CALL THE SAME MORNING FOR ANOTHER LEAKING TANK. FORD SHOULD BE HELD TO REPAIR THE TANK PROBLEMS BEFORE ANYONE IS KILLED.*AK
FORD IS RECALLING 225,000 MY 1992-2003 ECONOLINE, MY 1993-1995 TAURUS SHO, MY 1992-1998 CROWN VICTORIA, MY 1993 BRONCO, F-SERIES, MY 1995-1997 F-SERIES SUPER DUTY STRIPPED CHASSIS, MY 1992-1998 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS, AND MY 1992-1995 LINCOLN TOWN CAR VEHICLES. THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WERE PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED USING A WIRING HARNESS THAT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE VEHICLE CIRCUIT POLARITY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AS A RESULT, THE FUSE IS LOCATED IN THE OUTPUT CIRCUIT RATHER THAN IN THE INTENDED INPUT POWER FEED CIRCUIT, AND MAY NOT OFFER THE INTENDED PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT TO GROUND.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW WIRING HARNESS, OR REPLACE THE MATING ELECTRICAL COMPONENT. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 18, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-392-3673.
ON CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS, PASSENGER VEHICLES, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MOTOR HOMES CHASSIS, THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH MAY, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, LEAK INTERNALLY AND THEN OVERHEAT, SMOKE, OR BURN.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A FUSED WIRING HARNESS. OWNERS OF THE PASSENGER CARS INCLUDED IN THIS CAMPAIGN WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO RETURN THEIR VEHICLES TO THEIR DEALERS TO HAVE THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH DISCONNECTED AS AN INTERIM REPAIR. AS SOON AS REPAIR PARTS ARE AVAILABLE (EXPECTED OCTOBER 2007), OWNERS WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO RETURN TO THE DEALERS FOR INSTALLATION OF A FUSED WIRING HARNESS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 13, 2007, AND MAILING COMPLETED BY SEPTEMBER 19, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD AT 1-888-222-2751.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS AND CAB CHASSIS EQUIPPED WITH GASOLINE ENGINES AND DUAL FUEL TANKS. THE CARBON STEEL FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE FUEL SYSTEM CAN WEAR OUT DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR MALFUNCTIONS, IT CAN CAUSE HIGH FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE, WHICH DAMAGES THE FUEL PUMP CHECK VALVE. THIS ALLOWS FUEL TO BE TRANSFERRED FROM ONE TANK TO THE OTHER, POSSIBLY OVERFILLING THE NON-OPERATING TANK, RESULTING IN FUEL OVERFLOW PAST THE FILLER CAP.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL HAVE A STAINLESS STEEL FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR INSTALLED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JULY 9, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT FORD AT 1-866-436-7332. (SEE PREVIOUS NHTSA RECALL 93V-125/FORD RECALL 93S68).
THE PARKING BRAKE CONTROL SELF-ADJUST PAWL DOES NOT LINE UP PROPERLY WITH THE SELF-ADJUST RACHET CAUSING THE PAWL TO SLIP OVER ONE OR MORE TEETH IN THE RACHET.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THE ABOVE OCCURS, IT CAN RESULT IN PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM INEFFECTIVENESS. THE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FREELY, IF THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT LEFT IN GEAR.
Remedy: A WEDGE WILL BE INSTALLED WHICH WILL SERVE TO LOCK THE PARKING BRAKE SELF-ADJUST MECHANISM PAWL INTO ENGAGEMENT WITH THE RACHET. ALSO, OWNERS WILL BE ADVISED TO RELEASE AND REAPPLY THE PARKING BRAKE WHENEVER TOOTH SKIP OCCURS AND WILL BE REMINDED TO ALWAYS TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN GEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED.
THE U-CLIP STYLE NUTS THAT RETAIN THE FRONT BUMPERS TO THE FRONT BUMPER INNER ARMS CAN FRACTURE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF ONE OF THE U-CLIP NUTS FRACTURES, THE BUMPER WILL LOOSEN AND RATTLE CAUSING FRACTURE OF THE REMAINING U-CLIP NUTS, RESULTING IN SEPARATION OF THE BUMPER FROM THE VEHICLE. IF THE BUMPER WERE TO DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN, A VEHICLE COLLISION COULD RESULT.
Remedy: INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT OF THE FOUR U-CLIP NUTS AND THE ASSOCIATED BOLTS.
A MALFUNCTIONING CHECK VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY CAUSES A PORTION OF THE UNUSED FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO BE RETURNED TO THE SECOND TANK. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE CAPACITY OF THE SECOND TANK CAN BE EXCEEDED, CAUSING FUEL SPILLAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SPILLED FUEL CAN RESULT IN A FIRE WHEN EXPOSED TO ASOURCE OF IGNITION.
Remedy: REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND INSTALLATION OF REDUNDANT CHECK VALVES.
THE TRANSFER CASES HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH THE WRONG ELECTRIC SHIFT MOTOR. THE TRANSFER CASES CAN SLIP OUT OF THE 4 X 4 HIGH GEAR POSITION DURING COASTING IN FORWARD GEARS OR WITH POWER APPLIED IN REVERSE GEAR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURS, THE VEHICLE CAN ROLL FREELY AS IF INNEUTRAL POSITION REGARDLESS OF THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR POSITION. THIS CANRESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: REPLACE DEFECTIVE TRANSFER CASES WITH THE CORRECT VERSION.
