- Campaign:
- 00T005000 on 08/09/2000
- Component:
- Tires:tread/belt
- Affected:
- 14,400,000
- Defect:
- Tire description: firestone wilderness at, size p235/75r15, produced at the decatur, illinois tire plant and all firestone radial atx and radial atx ii tires, size p235/75r15. operation of these tires at low inflation pressures, high speed, and in hot weather, can contribute to separation of the tire tread.

- Correction:
- The replacement/reimbursement program for this campaign expired on august 29, 2001. however, customers should contact firestone customer service at 1-800-465-1904 for possible assistance.
- Campaign:
- 00V422000 on 12/27/2000
- Component:
- Vehicle speed control
- Manufactured:
- 05/28/1996 - 10/19/1998
- Affected:
- 220,000
- Defect:
- Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles equipped with 4.0l sohc engines and still retain the original throttle body (part numbers 97jf-9e926ab or 97jf-9e926-ac). some of the original throttle bodies installed allowed a gap between the plate and bore to be built too narrow. this reduced clearance allowed the engine deposits normally present in the throttle body to contact or bridge the gap. if the engine deposits bridged the gap between the throttle plate and bore and then hardened, on the initial application of the accelerator pedal after the engine has cooled, the operator would need to apply additional force to the accelerator pedal to break the bridge.
- Consequence:
- This could result in engine surge when the accelerator pedal breaks free.
- Correction:
- Dealers will replace the original throttle bodies.
- Notes:
- Owner notification began march 5, 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 1-800-392-3673.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
