This could result in fluid expulsion, driveshaft separation or loss of vehicle drive. Fluid leakage in the presence of an ignition source could cause a vehicle fire and driveshaft separation may lead to loss of vehicle control.  Correction: Transfer case extension housing will be replaced and steel driveshaft will be replaced with an aluminum driveshaft.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"97S83","part_number":null,"units":22467,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Groupe motopropulseur","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains Aerostar AWD, le fait de rouler pendant de longues périodes à une vitesse supérieure à 130 km/h peut entraîner une défaillance structurale de l’ensemble transmission-boîte de transfert. Il pourrait alors y avoir fuite massive d’huile à transmission, rupture de l’arbre de transmission et perte de motricité. En présence d’une source d’allumage, l’huile répandue peut être la cause d’un incendie du véhicule, et la rupture de l’arbre de transmission peut entraîner une perte de contrôle.
