Year of Recall: '98
Type of Report: Vehicle
Potential Number of Units Affected: 1520000
Summary:
Vehicle Description: Multi-purpose vehicles and light duty pickup trucks. The lug nuts on these vehicles may not create sufficient clamp load allowing
wheel movement in relation to the hub/rotor mounting surface.
This can result in the loosening of lug nuts, stud fatigue failure, and the potential for a wheel separation from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a vehicle
crash.
Dealers will inspect the wheel studs and replace the wheel lug nuts.
Owner notification is expected to begin July 20, 1998. 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).
