- [RCDNN00V4028174](/bulletins/10204995.md), 2021-12-20, Service bulletin: SUSPENSION; SUSPENSION:FRONT:STABILIZER BAR. Letter Pursuant to Part 573 of Title 49 of the Code fof Federal Regulations, Defect and Noncompliance Reports, Ford Motor Company submits the following information concerning a safety\-related recall action that it is initiating.
- [RCDNN\-00V402\-817](/bulletins/10076008.md), 2016-07-07, Service bulletin: SUSPENSION:FRONT:STABILIZER BAR. This recall action involves replacement of the front stabilizer bar links in certain 1995 through 1997 model year Explorer and Mountaineer vehicles. Under certain conditions, predominantly in cold weather areas, a front stabilizer bar link stud can fracture from bending fatigue. Bushing load/deflection testing indicates that the stiffness of the bushing urethane material increases as the temperature is lowered, which could increase the bending fatigue load on the stud from the bushing material.
