JUST RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR MY 2011 FUSION PASSENGER TAKATA AIRBAG STATING. "A RUPTURED INFLATOR MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH". I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP & THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PARTS TO FIX OR REPLACE WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BUT YOU CAN STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE. ????? I TAKE CARE OF MY ELDERLY PARENTS I TRANSPORT MY 90 YR OLD MOTHER TO FROM FROM THE HOSPITAL ER DOC VISITS. SHE RECENTLY HAD A FEW FALLS BROKE HER HIP, WRIST, NOSE ETC. I CAN NOT PUT THEM IN A VEHICLE KNOWING THIS CAN HAPPEN. WHY WOULD YOU SEND A LETTER OUT BEFORE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? WHAT ABOUT RENTAL CARS PROVIDED BY FORD?
Lippert Components, Inc.(Lippert), d.b.a Extreme Trailers, is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 boat trailers equipped with Carlisle Transport Products brand wheels installed as original equipment. Lippert also sold approximately 118 wheel and tire assemblies for aftermarket use on various recreational vehicles. These wheels were manufactured with machine dimensions for the application of a center cap and the application of steel lug inserts that were not controlled to the required specifications. As a result, the wheel may not be tightened to the proper torque during the mounting process.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the wheels are not tightened to the proper torque, the wheels could loosen, leading to wheel separation, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. A detached wheel also becomes a road hazard.
Remedy: Lippert will notify owners, and Carlisle Transport Products dealers will repair or replace the affected wheels free of charge. The recall began during December 2012. Owners may contact Lippert Components at 1-574-312-6113.
