Vehicle Description: All wheel drive passenger minivans. These vehicles can
develop powertrain bending resonance or transfer case output shaft bushing
displacement. The powertrain bending resonance or the output shaft bushing
displacement can result in structural failure of the transmission and/or
transfer case. Fluid explusion, driveshaft separation or loss of vehicle drive
can result.
This condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, and, if the expelled fluid
contacts the exhaust system, a vehicle fire could occur.
Dealers will install a new transfer case rear output shaft bushing and an
aluminum driveshaft will be installed.
Owner notification is expected to begin February 16, 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 1-800-424-9393.
