12,728 vehicles recalled

2005 FORD FREESTAR -- On certain vans equipped with the power liftgate option, the power liftgate motor automatically disengages after the liftgate is powered open.

In the event of a liftgate strut malfunction, the liftgate can fall freely with no prior warning. Anyone standing beneath the liftgate may be injured if the liftgate falls.

Dealers will reprogram the power liftgate module to reduce the likelihood that the liftgate could fall free of charge. The recall began on March 15, 2006. Owners may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
