Ford Offers Repairs On 145,000 Vehicles In U.s.

Recall Wire: Ford Offers Repairs on 145,000 Vehicles in U.S.

DEARBORN, Mich. — The Ford Motor Company is recalling more than 145,000 vehicles in the U.S. for a variety of problems, from defective latches to faulty drivetrains, according to the federal government.

The recall covers 139,537 2005 Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego sedans and 2005-'06 Ford Freestar minivans, as well as 6,000 2006 Ford Escape Hybrids.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on its Web site that the Ford sedans and minivans have side door latches that may let in water. This can cause the latch mechanism to freeze in cold weather and the door could open while the vehicle is moving.

The automaker is also recalling 6,000 of its 2006 Escape Hybrid SUVs to replace intermediate driveshafts that could break and cut power to the wheels. If a break occurs, it could cause the vehicle to move, even in the "Park" position of the automatic transmission.

The recall campaign to owners begins later this month. Ford dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace parts, if necessary.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
