NHTSA Campaign #06E022000 SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

MARCH 13
2006

7,440 vehicles recalled

1993 FORD AEROSTAR -- Certain aftermarket brake hydraulic master cylinders sold as replacement brake cylinders for certain Ford, DaimlerChrysler, and Jeep passenger vehicles. These brake cylinders were sold under the brand names of Napa, raybestos, aimco, ac delco, Carquest, bendix, and wagner. Only products that were manufactured from July 27, 2005 through January 17, 2006 (date codes 0529 through 0602) are subject to this recall. When subject to very cold temperatures, an internal seal in the master cylinder could lose flexibility and may cause brake fluid to leak.

Loss of brake fluid can lead to a decrease in brake line pressure and an increase in stopping distance, which can result in a vehicle crash.

Affinia (brake parts, Inc.) will replace the subject brake hydraulic master cylinders free of charge. The recall began on March 20, 2006. Owners can contact affina group customer service at 1-800-323-0354. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #06E022000 »

NHTSA Campaign #99V029000 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH

FEBRUARY 09

762,201 vehicles recalled

1993 FORD AEROSTAR -- Vehicle description: Mini vans. These vehicles were produced with a higher than specified electrical load through the accessory power feed circuit. The potential for contact between the B2 (battery), A2 (accessory), and P1 (proof) circuits can occur, creating a short circuit, allowing current to flow through the ground wire.

This can cause over heating and the potential for a vehicle fire.

Dealers will install a jumper harness with a relay which will re-route and activate all A2 accessories through the relay. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #99V029000 »

NHTSA Campaign #97V204000 POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)

NOVEMBER 13
1997

75,000 vehicles recalled

1993 FORD AEROSTAR -- Vehicle description: All wheel drive passenger minivans. These vehicles can develop powertrain bending resonance or transfer case output shaft bushing displacement. The powertrain bending resonance or the output shaft bushing displacement can result in structural failure of the transmission and/or transfer case. Fluid explusion, driveshaft separation or loss of vehicle drive can result.

This condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, and, if the expelled fluid contacts the exhaust system, a vehicle fire could occur.

Dealers will install a new transfer case rear output shaft bushing and an aluminum driveshaft will be installed. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #97V204000 »
