Description:
Recall: 1999 Ford Expedition
Component: WHEELS:LUGS:NUTS:BOLTS
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 99V099000
Manufacturer: FORD MOTOR COMPANY
Potential Number of Units Affected: 50000Summary:
Vehicle Description: Sport utility vehicles equipped with four-wheel-drive
(4x4), 17" chrome steel wheels. The clamp load can be lost on the wheel lugs
due to insufficient wheel contact area with the hub. In some cases, the contact
area can deform, resulting in a loss of lug nut torque.
Loss of lug nut torque can cause vibration or separation of a wheel and tire
from the vehicle.
Dealers will re-torque the wheel lugs to proper specifications and also install
a label that specifies that the wheel lugs be torqued to 110 lb-ft any time the
wheel is removed.
Owner notification is expected to begin during May 1999. 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).
