Component:
Air bags:frontal
Manufactured:
12/31/1994 - 01/31/1995
Affected:
8,600
Defect:
The passenger side air bag has an inflator body that cracked during forming of the curl that retains the igniter plug in the end of the inflator. also the igniter end cap can separate from the inflator.
Consequence:
The passenger side air bag may not inflate properly resulting in reduced occupant protection in a vehicle accident. if the igniter end cap separates in a frontal collision, hot gases can be released and ignite flammable material or cause burn injuries.
Correction:
Dealers will remove and replace the passenger side air bag module.
Notes:
System: interior; passive restraints; air bag; passenger. vehicle description: passenger side air bag in passenger cars, vans andmulti-purpose vehicles. note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a reasonable 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.

Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Manufactured:
10/31/1994 - 01/31/1995
Affected:
8,100
Defect:
In some of the vehicles, brake tubes were misrouted between the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit and results in exceeding the allowable stopping distances as required by fmvss no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems." in addition, seals within the master cylinder could be abraded by this condition over time resulting in an internal leak and a further reduction in brake performance.
Consequence:
Consequence of non-compliance: stopping distances could be longer than intended resulting in increased potential for a vehicle accident.
Correction:
Dealers will reroute the brake tubes.
Notes:
System: brakes; hydraulic; lines; metallic; fmvss 105.vehicle description: 2-door multi-purpose passenger vehicles. note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a reasonable time, please contact ford at 1-800-392-3673. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

Component:
Steering:linkages:tie rod assembly
Manufactured:
10/31/1994 - 01/31/1995
Affected:
49,300
Defect:
The inner tie rod assemblies were improperly manufactured and can fracture causing shaking or shimmy at low speeds.
Consequence:
This condition can cause the wheel on the side with the broken tie rod to tuck inward or outward and slide resulting in an increased potential for a vehicle accident.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the inner tie rods and replace the suspect tie rods.
Notes:
System: steering; linkages; tie rod; inner.vehicle description: multi-purpose passenger vehicles.note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided free of charge within a reasonable time, please 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:

Component:
Structure:body:hatchback/liftgate:support device
Manufactured:
01/31/1990 - 01/31/1995
Affected:
1,029,380
Defect:
Vehicle description: multi-purpose passenger vehicles. this is not a safety recall in accordance with federal regulation 573. however, it is deemed a safety improvement campaign by the agency. the campaign will reinforce the bracket attachments of the rear liftgate gas assist cylinders which could pull away from the inside of the liftgate.
Consequence:
If a bracket and gas assist cylinder were to detach completely from the liftgate and no longer bear against the liftgate as intended, the remaining assist cylinder would not hold the liftgate in an open position. personal injury could occur.
Correction:
Ford dealers will reinforce the bracket attachments.
Notes:
Ford has decided to conduct a safety improvement service campaign to reinforce the bracket attachments without charge. owners can contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.

Affected:
470,582
Defect:
Vehicle description: on certain sport utility vehicles, the hydraulic lift cylinder bracket welds could fracture.
Consequence:
with a broken bracket weld, there is a potential for the liftgate bracket to gradually bend inward allowing the lift cylinder ball stud to disengage, unexpectedly allowing the liftgate to fall from an open position.
Correction:
Dealers will install liftgate reinforcement brackets. depending upon the condition of the liftgate sheet metal in the area of the bracket, dealers may also install a larger reinforcement.
Notes:
