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.

448,005
Defect:
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with speed control and 4.0l sohc engines, if the strand cover on the speed control cable becomes flared at the end, the speed control cable may bind when the speed control is activated.
Consequence:
The throttle return spring force may not be sufficient to overcome the binding condition when the speed control is disengaged. braking function would be maintained though stopping distances may be increased.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the speed control cable and, if necessary, replace it. owner notification began august 29, 2003. owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
