Vehicle Description: Light duty trucks. The cast tow hooks changes the crash
pulse of the vehicle in frontal barrier impacts and the air bag sensor was not
calibrated to this new crash pulse which may cause the air bags to deploy in
lower speed impacts than design intent.
Unexpected air bag deployment can result in personal injury.
Dealers will replace the cast tow hooks with forged hooks.
Owner notification is expected to begin January 3, 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).
