Description:
Recall: 1998 Ford Expedition
Component: POWER TRAIN:TRANSMISSION:AUTOMATIC:INDICATOR:LEVER:GEAR
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 97V171000
Manufacturer: FORD MOTOR COMPANY
Potential Number of Units Affected: 866000Summary:
Vehicle Description: Light duty pickup trucks and multi-purpose passenger
vehicles. If the automatic transmission shift cable assembly was not fully
attached to the steering column bracket, the shift cable assembly can come out
of the bracket. The vehicle operator would then not be able to shift the
transmission from one of the drive gear positions into the park position even
though the gear shift selector would indicate "Park."
The condition would not allow a disengagement of the transmission from the park
position or affect proper neutral start switch operation. Unintended vehicle
movement could occur if the parking brake was not set.
Dealers will make the proper attachment of the transmission shift control cable
to the steering column bracket and add a tie strap to that connection.
Owner notification is expected to begin October 20, 1997. 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 1-800-424-9393.
