NHTSA Recall #08V051000 VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL

FEBRUARY 04
2008

225,000 E-350s recalled

1996 FORD E-350 -- Ford is recalling 225,000 MY 1992-2003 econoline, MY 1993-1995 Taurus sho, MY 1992-1998 Crown Victoria, MY 1993 Bronco, F-series, MY 1995-1997 F-series Super Duty stripped chassis, MY 1992-1998 Mercury Grand Marquis, and MY 1992-1995 Lincoln town car vehicles. The affected vehicles were previously repaired using a wiring harness that is not compatible with the vehicle circuit polarity.

As a result, the fuse is located in the output circuit rather than in the intended input power feed circuit, and may not offer the intended protection in the event of an electrical short to ground.

Dealers will install a new wiring harness, or replace the mating electrical component. The recall began on February 18, 2008. Owners may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #08V051000 »
