Equipment: mechanical, integrated jack/leveler/stabilizer
NHTSA campaign 00V200000 · reported July 18, 2000 · FORD MOTOR COMPANY · 875,000 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. These vehicles have jacking instructions which, if followed, could cause the vehicle operator to place the jack on a frame weld when attempting to raise a rear wheel.

- The risk
- If this occurs and any portion of the operator's body is under the vehicle, the potential for personal injury exists.
- The fix
- Owners will be provided with a revised jack instruction and stowage card and jack warning label, as well as a supplement to the owner guide.
