| 98V323000 | 1998-12-16. STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, KANSAS, KENTUCKY, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, VIRGINIA, WEST VIRGNIA, AND WISCONSIN. THE REAR LOWER SUBFRAME MOUNT PLATE NUT CAN EXPERIENCE STRESS CORROSION CRACKING IF SUBJECTED TO LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO ROAD SALTS. THIS CAN RESULT IN FRACTURE AND LOSS OF THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE SUBFRAME MOUNT ATTACHMENT. DETACHMENT OF THE BODY MOUNTS AT THE REAR CORNERS OF THE SUBFRAME, WHICH SUPPORTS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, ALLOWS THE REAR CORNERS OF THE SUBFRAME TO DROP. Built 1985-10-14 to 1995-06-27. |

| 93V106000 | 1993-06-23. STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TAURUS AND SABLES BUILT FROM 10-14-85 THROUGH 8-19-88, AND LINCOLN CONTINENTALS BUILT FROM 11-4-87 THROUGH 9-30-88 (EXCEPT 1989 - 1991 2.5L TAURUS AND 1989 - 1992 SHO). THE AFFECTED CARS WERE ORIGINALLY SOLD OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE FOLLOWING STATES: CONNECTICUT, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MAINE, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, AND WISCONSIN. THE BODY MOUNTS AT THE REAR CORNERS OF THE SUBFRAME, WHICH SUPPORTS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, MAY BECOME DETACHED DUE TO CORROSION OF THE SUBFRAME MOUNT RETAINING PLATE. THIS WOULD ALLOW THE REAR CORNERS OF THE SUBFRAME TO DROP. Built 1985-10-01 to 1988-09-01. |
| 1992166 | 1992-12-30. Structure. On certain vehicles with 3.0 Litre and 3.8 Litre engines, the body mounts on the rear corners of the subframe which supports the engine and transmission may become detached due to corrosion of the rear lower mount retaining plates, allowing the rear corners of the subframe to drop. Should this occur, steering could become very difficult, thereby adversely affecting vehicle control. Correction: modified lower body mounts and attaching bolts will be installed on affected vehicles. |
|---|---|
| 1992060 | 1992-05-20. Structure. Note: Station wagon vehicles only. Young children left unattended in the vehicle could lock themselves in the footwell area of the rear-facing third seat (or the underfloor storage compartment in station wagons not equipped with the optional third seat). Once the compartment is closed, it cannot be opened from the inside, and there is the danger of air deprivation, excessive body heat and panic response to a child who may have closed himself or herself in the compartment. Correction: A modified latch will be installed which does not have a self-latching feature and allows the compartment cover to be pushed open from the inside. |
| 1987023 | 1987-02-17. Structure. ON STATION WAGONS, THE METALLIC CONDUCTOR STRIPS WHICH PROVIDE ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO THE REAR WINDOW WIPER MOTOR MAY ERODE DUE TO ELECTROLYTIC ACTION UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF HIGH ROAD SALT USE. THIS COULD REDUCE THE CROSS SECTION OF THE STRIPS, CAUSING A POINT OF HIGH RESISTANCE AND CONSEQUENT LOCALIZED THERMAL STRESS WITHIN THE GLASS. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE GLASS TO FRACTURE WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING CREATING THE RISK OF INJURY TO OCCUPANTS OF THE REAR FACING THIRD ROW SEAT OR A SUDDEN DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER. CORRECTION: SEALANT ON STRIPS AND PROTECTIVE TAPE ON LOWER BACKLIGHTS. |
| 1986127 | 1986-11-13. Structure. VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH IMPROPERLY HEAT TREATED LEFT AND/OR RIGHT REAR SPINDLE ASSEMBLIES. IMPROPERLY HEAT TREATED SPINDLE STEMS ARE NOT HARDENED TO SPECIFICATION AND COULD BEND OR BREAK IN SERVICE. IF THE SPINDLE STEM WERE TO SEPARATE, LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: REAR SPINDLES WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES. V.I.N. RANGE 1FABP50D0HA109073 TO 1FABP52D1HA115770 |
A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
