"Ford is recalling 27,000 model year 1998-2003 Windstar vehicles manufactured from Sept. 1, 1997 through July 3, 2003, and currently registered or originally sold in Virginia.
Over time, corrosion can weaken the rear axle making it susceptible to torsional stress. Corrosion and stress can lead to cracks, which, if undetected, can increase, and result in a complete fracture of the axle.
A fractured axle can affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and install rear axle reinforcement brackets, or replace the axles, as necessary. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or about June 18. Owners may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332. " [Read more]
