2006 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR OWNED OR LEASED BY MY DAUGHTER/SON IN LAW ALMOST LOST LEFT REAR WHEEL ON JANUARY 27, 2008. UPON INSPECTION, LEFT REAR WHEEL WAS FOUND TO BE LOOSE. WHEN HUB CAP WAS REMOVED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT TWO OF THE THREADED WHEEL LUGS HAD BROKEN OFF WITH THE LUG NUTS STILL ON THE BROKEN PART OF THE STUDS. THE OTHER FOUR LUG NUTS WHERE LOOSE. THIS VEHICLE WAS CARRYING THREE BABY GIRLS (TRIPLETS) AND THEIR MOTHER AND FATHER WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO OF LOOSING THE WHEEL. WITH POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS RESULTS. THE WHEEL STUDS SHOULD NEVER HAVE SEPARATED EVEN IF THEY WERE OVERTIGHTENED. THE THREADS SHOULD HAVE STRIPPED FIRST. WHEEL STUDS MAY HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE AND THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. *TR
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH AN INCORRECTLY MANUFACTURED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PARKING PAWL GUIDE PLATE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE PARKING LOCK SYSTEM NOT TO ENGAGE, AFTER THE TRANSMISSION IS PLACED IN THE PARK ("P") POSITION. IF THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE, AND THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED, THIS COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ROLLAWAY CONDITION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPAIR AND REPLACE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GUIDE PLATE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 18, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT LINCOLN AT 1-800-248-0186.
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, PASSENGER CARS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITHOUT GREASE BEING APPLIED TO THE OUTPUT SHAFT GEAR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AFTER A PERIOD OF CONTINUOUS USE ON THE HIGH SPEED SETTING, LACK OF GREASE ON THE OUTPUT SHAFT GEAR MAY CAUSE THE GEAR TO DISTORT OR FRACTURE DURING OPERATION RESULTING IN A LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION. INOPERATIVE WIPERS UNDER INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS COULD CAUSE A CRASH DUE TO IMPAIRED VISIBILITY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WIPER MOTOR FOR THE PRESENCE OF GREASE AND GREASE THE WIPER MOTOR GEARS IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 22, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-392-3673 OR LINCOLN/MERCURY AT 1-800-521-4140.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED AT THE CENTER TREAD DURING PRODUCTION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: OVER TIME, THE DAMAGE MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW BELT CORROSION ULTIMATELY LEADING TO A TREAD SEPARATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT ALL FOUR TIRES (TO ENSURE INSPECTION OF THE LEFT HAND SIDE TIRES THAT MAY HAVE BEEN ROTATED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE) FOR TIRE TREAD DAMAGE AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE DAMAGED TIRE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 13, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-392-3673.
