- Notes
- Ford campaign no 120.STATION wagons.possibility that station wagonsequipped with the class I light duty trailer tow-option were inadvertentlyfurnished with sedan trailer hitch kits at assembly plants.installation ofthe sedan kit on a station wagon necessitates bolting the drawbar incorrectlyunderneath the bumper support rather than on top of the plate and results indistortion of the mounting brackets and number five frame crossmember.theseconditions could eventually result in fracture and separation of the hitch fromone of its two mounting points.should this occur, excessive trailer"chucking" and swaying would result and, if left uncorrected, may result inseparation of the trailer from the vehicle.(correct by replacing sedan kitswith correct trailer hitch assembly).

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.
