2007 SALEEN S331 3V Recall

Campaign:

07V188000 on 04/29/2007

Component:

Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:caliper

Manufactured:

10/04/2006 - 04/15/2007

Affected:

163

Defect:

On certain extended cab, 5 passenger sport trucks fitted with a brake upgrade, the wheel bearing c-clip may have been improperly installed. the wheel hub can become loose in the spindle and will force the rotor to contact the brake pad.

Consequence:

The bracket holding on the brake caliper could potentially fail, resulting in the rotating assembly (wheel, tire, hub and rotor) to separate from the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.

Correction:

There will be two repair options available to dealers and customers: (1) saleen will supply a pair of new replacement front wheel hubs with bearing assemblies, including hardware, complete installation instructions and technical support. the replacements will be completed by authorized ford dealers; or, (2) saleen will send a technician out to a dealership to inspect all affected vehicles on the lot at that time. the technician will inspect both hubs and perform one of three remedies: (a) inspect and verify the c-clips are installed correctly; (b) rework the hubs to meet the revised tolerance; or (c) after inspecting hubs and determining they cannot be reworked, replace the hubs with new hubs. the recall began on may 2, 2007. owners may contact saleen at 1-949-597-3827.
