1995 FORD AEROSTAR Recalls (7)

Campaign:
94V239000 on 01/02/1995
Component:
Equipment:mechanical:carrier/rack
Manufactured:
09/30/1994 - 10/31/1994
Affected:
9,400
Defect:
The spare tire supplied with the vehicle can contact the brake lines on the rear axle if it is mounted in the underbody spare tire carrier. such contact could result in fracture of a rear brake line.
Consequence:
This can result in reduced vehicle brake capability.
Correction:
Dealers will install a lower profile mini-spare tire on the existing mini-spare wheel. the new tire will allow the mini-spare to be installed with appropriate clearances in the underbody spare tire carrier.
Notes:
System: equipment; carrier; spare tire.vehicle description: light duty passenger van.note: if the vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed uponservice date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a reasonabletime, please contact ford at 1-800-392-3673. also contact the nationalhighway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at1-800-424-9393.
Campaign:
95V037000 on 02/27/1995
Component:
Equipment:other:labels
Manufactured:
07/31/1994 - 10/31/1994
Affected:
12,000
Defect:
The certification label on these vehicles have incorrect rear tire sizes listed. p215/70r14sl should be p215/75r14sl. this does not comply with fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."
Consequence:
Consequence of non-compliance: the incorrectly sized rear tire would not have sufficient load capacity for the vehicle's specified gross axle weight rating, increasing the potential for premature tire failure.
Correction:
Owners will be mailed a supplementary label containing the correct rear tire information and instructions for installing the label on their vehicles. if owners prefer, their dealer can install the label for them.
Notes:
System:equipment; certification label.vehicle description: passenger vans. note: if you do not receive a new supplementary certification label within a reasonable amount of time, contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
Campaign:
97V204000 on 11/19/1997
Component:
Power train:transfer case (4-wheel drive)
Manufactured:
01/30/1992 - 01/19/1997
Affected:
75,000
Defect:
Vehicle description: all wheel drive passenger minivans. these vehicles can develop powertrain bending resonance or transfer case output shaft bushing displacement. the powertrain bending resonance or the output shaft bushing displacement can result in structural failure of the transmission and/or transfer case. fluid explusion, driveshaft separation or loss of vehicle drive can result.
Consequence:
This condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, and, if the expelled fluid contacts the exhaust system, a vehicle fire could occur.
Correction:
Dealers will install a new transfer case rear output shaft bushing and an aluminum driveshaft will be installed.
Notes:
Owner notification is expected to begin february 16,1998.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 1-800-392-3673.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
Campaign:
98E010000 on 04/08/1998
Component:
Service brakes, air:disc:rotor
Affected:
23,500
Defect:
Equipment description: aftermarket brake rotors for use on certain ford and mazda trucks. cracked castings caused cracks to appear on the outer diameter of the rotor hat or around the stud hole.
Consequence:
Loss of braking can result.
Correction:
Aimco will reimburse consumers/installers for the cost of replacement rotors and installation. consumers are requested to return to the location where the rotors were originally purchased/installed for replacement.
Notes:
Owner notification is expected to begin during april 1998.owners who do not receive the free rotors within a reasonable time should contact aimco at 815-759-7935.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
Campaign:
99V028000 on 02/15/1999
Component:
Electrical system:wiring:front underhood
Manufactured:
06/26/1994 - 08/30/1994
Affected:
23,097
Defect:
Vehicle description: mini vans. heat generation in the wiring harness to the fuel pump/sender assembly can cause an electrical short. the vehicle could experience a loss of power and become immobilized and the fuel gauge may be erratic.
Consequence:
Heat damage, including melting or charring of the fuel pump and sender assembly wire harness and associated wiring harnesses can also result. the short circuit could also have the potential for a vehicle fire.
Correction:
Dealers will install a fused jumper harness in the fuel pump ground circuit that will be installed at the fuel pump inertia shut-off switch.
Notes:
Owner notification began april 7, 1999. 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 1-800-392-3673. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
Campaign:
99V029000 on 02/15/1999
Component:
Electrical system:ignition:switch
Manufactured:
08/11/1991 - 08/21/1997
Affected:
762,201
Defect:
Vehicle description: mini vans. these vehicles were produced with a higher than specified electrical load through the accessory power feed circuit. the potential for contact between the b2 (battery), a2 (accessory), and p1 (proof) circuits can occur, creating a short circuit, allowing current to flow through the ground wire.
Consequence:
This can cause over heating and the potential for a vehicle fire.
Correction:
Dealers will install a jumper harness with a relay which will re-route and activate all a2 accessories through the relay.
Notes:
Owner notification began march 19, 1999.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 contactford at 1-800-392-3673.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
Campaign:
06E022000 on 03/12/2006
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic
Affected:
7,440
Defect:
Certain aftermarket brake hydraulic master cylinders sold as replacement brake cylinders for certain ford, daimlerchrysler, and jeep passenger vehicles. these brake cylinders were sold under the brand names of napa, raybestos, aimco, ac delco, carquest, bendix, and wagner. only products that were manufactured from july 27, 2005 through january 17, 2006 (date codes 0529 through 0602) are subject to this recall. when subject to very cold temperatures, an internal seal in the master cylinder could lose flexibility and may cause brake fluid to leak.
Consequence:
Loss of brake fluid can lead to a decrease in brake line pressure and an increase in stopping distance, which can result in a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Affinia (brake parts, inc.) will replace the subject brake hydraulic master cylinders free of charge. the recall began on march 20, 2006. owners can contact affina group customer service at 1-800-323-0354.
Notes:
This recall only pertains to aftermarket napa, raybestos, ac delco, aimco, carquest, and bendix brake hydraulic master cylinders and has no relation to any original equipment installed on daimlerchrysler or ford vehicles.customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
