Campaign:
98V060000 on 03/26/1998
Component:
Fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Manufactured:
07/31/1996 - 01/31/1998
Affected:
320,000
Defect:
Vehicle description: multi-purpose passenger vehicles equipped with 4.0l single overhead cam engines. the engine fuel lines can be damaged if the vehicle is jump started and the ground cable is attached to the fuel line bracket that is located near the battery. since the bracket is not grounded, the stainless steel fuel line braid could act as a ground potentially overheating the ptfe inner liner of the fuel line resulting in damage to the fuel line.
Consequence:
The fuel lines can leak, and in the presence of an ignition source, a fire could potentially result.
Correction:
Dealers will install a warning label on the fuel line bracket advising owners not to use it for a jump start ground. also a revised bolt will be installed in the alternator bracket to provide a convenient jump start ground location.
Notes:
Owner notification is expected to begin april 20, 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 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Consequence:
If the cruise control is used and this condition is present, a stuck throttle could result, which could potentially result in a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the cruise control cables. at the present time, the replacement cables are not available. customers are being advised not to use the cruise control system until a replacement can be made.

Component:
Latches/locks/linkages:hood:latch
Manufactured:
04/24/1997 - 05/16/1999
Affected:
854,288
Defect:
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. the secondary hood latch may corrode at the latch pivot and stick in the open position.
Consequence:

Notes:
Owner notification began july 14, 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:
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.
Consequence:
If the tread separates from the tire, the driver can lose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash causing injury or death.
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).
Campaign:
03V281000 on 08/06/2003
Component:
Seats:front assembly:recliner
Manufactured:
05/12/1997 - 12/23/2000
Affected:
1,552,880
Defect:
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with high back seats, the upper bolt on the driver's side high back seat, that attaches the seat recliner mechanism to the seat back frame, could fracture. if the bolt fractures and does not jam in the seat back frame, the seat back may recline until it makes contact with an object behind the seat, such as the second row seat cushion.
Consequence:
The driver could potentially lose contact with the steering wheel or foot pedals during such an event, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the driver seat upper bolt with a metal spacer and bolt. in addition, seats with tubular back frames will have the fully threaded lower recliner bolt replaced with a partially threaded bolt. owner notification began on august 29, 2003. owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
Notes:
Ford recall no. 03s04.customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
