13 November 1997
Ford Announces Vehicle CampaignDETROIT, Nov. 13 -- Ford Motor Company is notifying owners of certain 1992-1997 model-year All-Wheel-Drive Aerostar vehicles of a voluntary safety recall. Some of these vehicles when operated at extended high speed -- especially during hot weather conditions and speeds over 80 mph -- may develop structural failure of the transmission or transfer case assembly. In some cases, this may result in loss of fluid from the transmission or transfer case and may cause driveshaft separation. Approximately 82,000 vehicles are affected, of which 17,580 are in Canada. Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by mail to arrange with their dealers to have appropriate repair work completed. All work will be completed at no expense to owners.
