Mountaineer 4WD V6-4.0L VIN E (1999)
Multifunction Electronic Control Module: Recalls
Recall 00V072000: GEM Controlled Wiper Function Problem
Vehicle Description:
Multi-purpose vehicles equipped with 4.0L engines and All-time 4-Wheel Drive (A4WD) powertrains. The generic electronic module (GEM) could
experience a condition referred to as "lock-up" in which the GEM controlled electronic functions (e.g., front windshield wipers, interior lights, 4x4
system, etc.) could not be turned ON or, in some cases if the function is ON, could not be turned OFF. An inoperative windshield wiper system could
affect driver visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will install a resistor in the GEM circuit. Owner notification began April 15, 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).
