NHTSA recall 97V204000
Power Train · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: 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.
Why it matters: This condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, and, if the expelled fluid contacts the exhaust system, a vehicle fire could occur.
The fix: Dealers will install a new transfer case rear output shaft bushing and an aluminum driveshaft will be installed.
