2001 LINCOLN LS Recall

Campaign:
00V359001 on 11/02/2000
Component:
Suspension:front:control arm:lower ball joint
Manufactured:
08/17/1998 - 09/28/2000
Affected:
82,300
Defect:
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. the front suspension lower ball joints were not tightened to specifications when they were attached to the lower control arms.
Consequence:
If the ball joint attaching nuts are not adequately tightened, they can loosen and, ultimately, result in fracture of the ball joint stud. if the ball joint fractures, control of the vehicle could be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the torque on the two ball joint attaching nuts. vehicles with loose ball joint attaching nuts will either have the fasteners tightened to specification, or if necessary, the ball joints will be replaced.
Notes:
Owner notification began november 24, 2000.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).
