Expedition 4WD V8-4.6L SOHC VIN 6 (1997)
Lateral Stabilizer Rod: All Technical Service Bulletins
Recall 96V252000: Track Bar Bracket Breakage
The rear axle track bar bracket can separate from the frame due to missing welds or inadequate weld penetration. If both brackets separate, the rear axle
can move laterally until the tires contact either the frame or the wheel house resulting in either tire damage or a significant reduction in vehicle handling
performance. Dealers will install a track bar bracket reinforcement kit and inspection of the axle tubes. The suspect axle tubes do not have a stamped
date code on the tube. Axles without date codes on the tubes will be replaced. Owner Notification: Owner notification will begin January 20, 1997.
NOTE: 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 1-800-424-9393.
