Reported risk: Issue:
On certain vehicles, there may not be enough space between the rear coil spring and the rear toe link bracket. As a result, the protective coating on the coil spring could wear away. If this happens, over time, the spring could fracture. A spring that breaks could fall from the vehicle.
Safety Risk:
A broken coil spring could create a road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the clearance between the rear toe link bracket and the coil spring. If necessary, the toe link bracket edge will be trimmed and a new coil spring will be installed.
