7.3 RECALL
I just found this today.
Ford Recalls 1.1 Million SUVs, Trucks DETROIT (Dec. 6) - Ford Motor Co. said Thursday it is recalling 1.17 million trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans to fix an engine sensor that could lead to engine stalling. The recalled vehicles are all from the 1997-2003 model years with 7.3 liter diesel engines, including the Ford E-Series van, Excursion full-size sport utility vehicle, and F-450 Super Duty and F-550 Super Duty trucks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a posting on its Web site that the camshaft position sensor located on the engine could function intermittently and lead to an engine stall and potential crash. The sensor is an electrical component that helps regulate the fuel going into the engine. Ford spokesman Dan Jarvis said there have been 14 accidents associated with the problem, but no injuries reported. In the event of an engine stall, Jarvis said drivers traveling at speeds greater than 30 miles per hour would have full power steering and power braking, allowing them to pull over to the side of the road. At speeds below 30 mph, the motorists would still have braking and steering functions, he said. Dealers will inspect the sensor and replace it with a new one free of charge. The recall is expected to begin around Dec. 17, with mailing of notification letters to be completed in phases by May 2008. Owners can contact Ford at (866) 436-7332.At speeds below 30 mph, the motorists would still have braking and steering functions, he said.

UMMMM I doubt it, but that would be nice though wouldn't it? |
If you have a receipt - they MAY reimburse you
|
Ford will reimburse a customer who paid for the replacement of a part that is recalled. They'll give a one-time payment if you still own the vehicle.....
Been there, done that. For the trouble I'll just keep my blue one. :) |
So If This Was Already Performed Do They get Their Money Back?
|
R we talking about the CPS?
which I have yet to replace, mine is still working if I have to get a new one, I am going to buy an INT part |
i wonder if the guy that owned the truck before me got this fixed?
|
take it to a dealer ship they should be able to tell you if the guy had done at a Ford shop
