Recall Information

Description

Ford is recalling 123,632 my 2007-2008 expedition and Lincoln navigator vehicles. The door handle housing embossment retaining the bottom of the interior door handle spring on all side doors may fracture during normal customer usage. This can result in insufficient spring force to return the handle to the fully closed position. The handle may be loose causing a rattle or noise and the handle may not return to the fully closed position. This condition may also provide a delayed resistance when actuating the handle prior to opening the door.

Safety Risk

In the event of a side impact crash, the interior door handle may cause the door latch to open increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the interior handle spring on all side doors. The recall began on March 5, 2008. Owners may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332.

Next Steps

Description

On certain heavy duty trucks equipped with 7.3L diesel engines, the camshaft position sensor located on the engine of the vehicle may function intermittently, possibly resulting in an engine stall.

Safety Risk

In the event of an engine stall, a crash could result without warning.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect the sensor and replace it with an improved camshaft position sensor free of charge. The recall began on December 29, 2007. Owners may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332.

Next Steps

Description

Ford is recalling 158 my 2008 expedition and Lincoln navigator vehicles equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system tpms and the limo builders package for failing to conform to the requirements of federal Motor vehicle safety standard no. 138, ztire pressure monitoring systems. The tire pressure was increased from 35 psi to 40 psi without a commensurate update to the tpms calibrations.

Safety Risk

There is no affect on vehicle performance with properly inflated tires, however, continued operation with low pressure could result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to reconfigure the tpms threshold to the appropriate level for the recommended tire pressure. The recommended pressure is displayed on the tire pressure placard located on the drivers door pillar. This service will be performed free of charge parts and labor.
