Manufacturers are under liable accountability for their product forever.

Sometimes, problems aren't realized until years later. If each piece was tested for infinite reliability, which is what the legal system has made each manufacturer responsible to attain, then products would never be released because they'd be in the testing phases for infinity.

So, products are released and when problems crop up years later, you get a safety recall retroactive back into the last century. :)


Believe me when I tell you that trucks in wrecking yards are actually required to have safety recalls performed as well....after all, someone might buy that bad part for $3 from Sideline Auto Wrecking.

Hope this helps,

my expedition is a 98 and i got the letter about 3 years ago.... looks like they are covering their butts and spending the extra few bux to make sure it won't happen to other vehicles with similar sensors then them waiting to pay settlements out of court for loss of peoples house, car and possibly life due to their negligence

Thanks Dan.
Makes more sense now

i got the recall and after they put in the wires my dang abs light come on and stayed onn for a few days then went off for 2. but now its back on. the dealership said only 2 or 3 had showed signs of leaking

I dropped off my truck, they said they would be done in 30-45 minutes, and gave me a call 15 minutes after I left the dealership saying it was done.

I know i've went thru 4 brake booster's sense 2007 on a f 250 power stroke 7.3

How are they installing this inline fuse? (I hope they aren't using Scotch-Loks!!)

seriously you still rely on your mom to get you your s--t? grow up! :moon:

i got the recall notice from the guy i bought my 96 7.3 from and they honored it. they replace the whole sensor. the paper said it cost 90$ but it was free. i def wouldnt want my money maker accidentally keeping my frame warm if ya know what i mean
