2006 Lincoln Mark LT recalls
Air bags: frontal, driver side, inflator module
NHTSA campaign 11V107000 · reported February 23, 2011 · FORD MOTOR COMPANY · 1,325,000 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Ford is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 f-150 pick up trucks as well as certain model year 2006 lincoln mark lt vehicles. If the clockspring jumper wire comes in contact with the driver side frontal air bag lower horn plate, the wire insulation may become chafed, creating a potential for a short circuit. If this occurs the air bag warning lamp may illuminate indicating that service is required.
- The risk
- The driver side frontal air bag could inadvertently deploy increasing the risk of injury or loss of vehicle control if occurring while in motion.
- The fix
- Ford will notify owners and instruct them to take their vehicles to a ford or lincoln/mercury dealer to have a new clockspring jumper wire installed that incorporates a protective mesh cover. Repairs will be performed free of charge. This safety recall began on some vehicles in march 2011. The recall campaign on the expanded population is expected to begin on or about may 9, 2011. Owners may contact the ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332.
Service brakes, hydraulic: power assist, vacuum, hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
NHTSA campaign 08V208000 · reported May 7, 2008 · FORD MOTOR COMPANY · 605,684 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Ford is recalling 605,684 my 2005-2006 f-150 and lincoln mark lt vehicles equipped with 5.4l 3-valve engines. The brake booster vacuum supply hose attached to the intake manifold fitting may swell over time and lose retention force. This condition could allow the hose to become detached from the fitting during an intake manifold backfire. Should the hose detach from the intake manifold, several brake applications with power assist will be available before the vacuum reserve is depleted.
- The risk
- Once the brake booster vacuum reserve is depleted, the driver will have foundation brake function, but with increased brake pedal effort. Reduced vehicle braking could lead to a crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace a rubber hose on the brake booster vacuum supply tube assembly. The recall began on june 27, 2008. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
Interior lighting
NHTSA campaign 06V033000 · reported February 6, 2006 · FORD MOTOR COMPANY · 211,432 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Certain pickup trucks fail to comply with either the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) no. 105, 'hydraulic and electric brake systems' or FMVSS no. 135, 'passenger car brake systems.' these vehicles were built with a software error in the instrument cluster.
- The risk
- This error could prevent the antilock brake system (ABS) warning light from illuminating if the ABS module ever became inoperative.
- The fix
- Dealers will recalibrate the instrument cluster in these vehicles. The recall began on february 27, 2006. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
Visibility: windshield wiper/washer, motor
NHTSA campaign 05V520000 · reported November 9, 2005 · FORD MOTOR COMPANY · 199,942 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- On certain trucks, passenger cars and sport utility vehicles, the windshield wiper motor may have been produced without grease being applied to the output shaft gear.
- The risk
- After a period of continuous use on the high speed setting, lack of grease on the output shaft gear may cause the gear to distort or fracture during operation resulting in a loss of wiper function. Inoperative wipers under inclement weather conditions could cause a crash due to impaired visibility.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the wiper motor for the presence of grease and grease the wiper motor gears if necessary. The recall began on november 22, 2005. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or lincoln/mercury at 1-800-521-4140.
