- Notes
- Possibility failure of rivets used for attaching the front spring rear hanger bracket to the frame.rivet failure would allow the bracket to separate from the frame imposing severe loads at the front bracket.should the spring disengage from the front bracket the axle will shift and loss of steering control could result.also, there is a pos- sibility of misassembly or mis-alignment of certain components in the power steering system.failure to correct this condition, if present, also could result in loss of steering control.(correct by in- stalling new rivets and power steering components if necessary.)

Has your Ford been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
