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.

Component:
Structure:body:hood
Manufactured:
01/30/1994 - 12/30/1995
Affected:
769,000
Defect:
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles and mini vans. tearing of the bond between the inner and outer hood panels during minor front end collisions can result in a gap at the leading edge of the hood. air forced between the inner and outer panels can produce enough pressure to force the outer panel upward.
Consequence:
This condition can result in total separation of the outer hood panel.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the hood area for any damage along the leading edge of the hood. if there is any evidence of bond separation, the hood will be replaced. if there is no evidence of bond separation, additional adhesive will be applied between the inner and outer hood panels.
Notes:
Owner notification began november 10, 1997. 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.

Component:
Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly
Manufactured:
01/12/1994 - 08/06/1995
Affected:
70,116
Defect:
Vehicle description: minivans which were originally sold or currently registered in the following hot weather states: alabama, arizona, arkansas, california (10 southern counties), florida, georgia, hawaii, louisiana, mississippi, nevada (clark county only), oklahoma, south carolina and texas, can develop cracks in the fuel tank in the forward strap area of the standard 20 gallon tank due to a combination of factors that are present in certain very hot areas of the country.
Consequence:
These cracks could result in fuel leakage if they propagate through the wall of the tank.
Correction:
Dealers will install a brace assembly at the strap bolt hole location and replace the tank strap with a revised, longer strap. dealers will also inspect the tanks for leaks. if a leak exists and is the result of a crack in the fuel tank, the tank will be replaced in addition to the installation of a spacer and longer strap.

Campaign:
01I007000 on 07/18/2001
Component:
Suspension:front:springs:coil springs
Manufactured:
12/12/1993 - 07/02/1998
Affected:
948,492
Defect:
This is not a safety recall in accordance with the safety act. however, it is deemed a safety improvement campaign by the agency. vehicle description: 1995-1998 ford windstar minivans. the front coil springs could potentially fracture due to corrosion. note: the 1997-1998 windstar mini vans are also covered by nhtsa safety recall 01v-199/ford recall 01s19. the mini vans covered by the safety recall were originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, and wisconsin, and in the district of columbia.
Consequence:
Some tires have deflated due to contact with a broken spring.
Correction:
Ford is extending the warranty for front coil spring replacement to a total of 10 years of service from the warranty start date, with unlimited mileage. this coverage is automatically transferred to subsequent owners at no charge. if either front coil spring fractures during the coverage period noted above, the dealer will replace both springs at no charge to the owner.
Notes:
Ford has decided to conduct a service campaign to extend the warranty coverage for the front coil springs. owners can contact ford at1-866-436-7332, concerning this program.
Campaign:
02V101000 on 04/08/2002
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Manufactured:
01/13/1994 - 05/20/1996
Affected:
250,283
Defect:
On certain minivans originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, wisconsin, and the district of columbia. during assembly, some brake lines were installed in a twisted position, causing contact with the dash panel insulator above the catalytic converter. this contact could abrade the brake line corrosion protection, consequently, salt or water absorbed in the dash panel insulator would promote corrosion. this corrosion could ultimately lead to a leak in the brake line.
Consequence:
Leakage of brake fluid will result in brake light activation. extended stopping distance could also result, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the brake line for corrosion and clearance conditions. a brake line that is not corroded will be repositioned. a brake line that is corroded or leaking will be replaced with a nylon coated brake line and secured using three retaining clips to assure clearance from the insulator. owner notification began may 10, 2002. 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.
Notes:
