TRIM - EXTERIOR - TAILGATE APPLIQUE - APPEARANCE OF PLASTIC AROUND THE FORD LETTERS
LIGHT TRUCK:
1990-95 BRONCO, F-150-350 SERIES
ISSUE:
In some cases, tailgate appliques are being replaced because of the appearance of cracks in the plastic around the FORD letters. This is due to the
manufacturing process where the plastic material flows around the FORD letter depressions. It then cools at different rates and comes back together but
does not mix, resulting in a "knit line" that appears to be a crack.
ACTION:
This applique should not be replaced because of the "knit lines". Every part will have this appearance (98425A34 for Bronco and 99425A34 for
F-Series).
