Commentary
Recalls are issued in order to hopefully mitigate the manufactures future risk of liability from faulty or defective parts. This particular recall appears to include only a small number of vehicles produced by Ford. Nonetheless Ford owners are encouraged to check with their dealership to see if their vehicle applies.
