2001 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER Recalls (4)

Campaign:
03V280000 on 08/06/2003
Component:
Vehicle speed control:cables
Manufactured:
03/04/1999 - 12/23/2000
Affected:
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.
Notes:
Ford recall no. 03s03.customers can 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).

58,640
Defect:
Certain aftermarket fuel filters sold under the purolator brand name, p/n f65277, shipped from january 16 through june 2, 2006, for use on the above listed passenger vehicles. due to incorrect design, the quick connectors may not fully seat with the tube interface, even though the person making the connection may believe that the quick connector is fully attached.
Consequence:
Failure of this connection could lead to fuel spillage and, in the presence of an ignition source, a fire could occur.
Correction:
Ufi will notify owners and replace the filters free of charge. the recall began on august 4, 2006. owners may contact ufi filters usa at 800-230-5876.

Affected:
3,600,000
Defect:
On certain pickup trucks, passenger vehicles, sport utility vehicles, and motor homes chassis, the speed control deactivation switch may, under certain conditions, leak internally and then overheat, smoke, or burn.
Consequence:
This could result in an underhood fire.
Correction:
Dealers will install a fused wiring harness. owners of the passenger cars included in this campaign will be instructed to return their vehicles to their dealers to have the speed control deactivation switch disconnected as an interim repair. as soon as repair parts are available (expected october 2007), owners will be instructed to return to the dealers for installation of a fused wiring harness. the recall began on august 13, 2007, and mailing completed by september 19, 2007. owners may contact ford at 1-888-222-2751.
