• 99V028000Feb 9, 199923,097 vehicles potentially affected
  Electrical system › Wiring › Front underhood
  Covers: Ford Aerostar 1994–1995

  Reported issue: Vehicle description: mini vans. Heat generation in the wiring harness to the fuel pump/sender assembly can cause an electrical short. The vehicle could experience a loss of power and become immobilized and the fuel gauge may be erratic.

  Possible consequence: Heat damage, including melting or charring of the fuel pump and sender assembly wire harness and associated wiring harnesses can also result. The short circuit could also have the potential for a vehicle fire.

  Remedy: Dealers will install a fused jumper harness in the fuel pump ground circuit that will be installed at the fuel pump inertia shut-off switch.

• 99V029000Feb 9, 1999762,201 vehicles potentially affected
  Electrical system › Ignition › Switch
  Covers: Ford Aerostar 1992–1997

  Reported issue: Vehicle description: mini vans. These vehicles were produced with a higher than specified electrical load through the accessory power feed circuit. The potential for contact between the b2 (battery), a2 (accessory), and p1 (proof) circuits can occur, creating a short circuit, allowing current to flow through the ground wire.

  Possible consequence: This can cause over heating and the potential for a vehicle fire.

  Remedy: Dealers will install a jumper harness with a relay which will re-route and activate all a2 accessories through the relay.

• 97V204000Nov 13, 199775,000 vehicles potentially affected
  Power train › Transfer case (4-wheel drive)
  Covers: Ford Aerostar 1992–1997

  Reported issue: Vehicle description: all wheel drive passenger minivans. These vehicles can develop powertrain bending resonance or transfer case output shaft bushing displacement. The powertrain bending resonance or the output shaft bushing displacement can result in structural failure of the transmission and/or transfer case. Fluid explusion, driveshaft separation or loss of vehicle drive can result.

  Possible consequence: This condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, and, if the expelled fluid contacts the exhaust system, a vehicle fire could occur.

  Remedy: Dealers will install a new transfer case rear output shaft bushing and an aluminum driveshaft will be installed.

• 95V037000Feb 28, 199512,000 vehicles potentially affected
  Equipment › Other › Labels
  Covers: Ford Aerostar 1995

  Reported issue: The certification label on these vehicles have incorrect rear tire sizes listed. P215/70r14sl should be p215/75r14sl. This does not comply with fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."

  Possible consequence: Consequence of non-compliance: the incorrectly sized rear tire would not have sufficient load capacity for the vehicle's specified gross axle weight rating, increasing the potential for premature tire failure.

  Remedy: Owners will be mailed a supplementary label containing the correct rear tire information and instructions for installing the label on their vehicles. If owners prefer, their dealer can install the label for them.

• 94V239000Dec 1, 19949,400 vehicles potentially affected
  Equipment › Mechanical › Carrier/rack
  Covers: Ford Aerostar 1995

  Reported issue: The spare tire supplied with the vehicle can contact the brake lines on the rear axle if it is mounted in the underbody spare tire carrier. Such contact could result in fracture of a rear brake line.

  Possible consequence: This can result in reduced vehicle brake capability.

  Remedy: Dealers will install a lower profile mini-spare tire on the existing mini-spare wheel. The new tire will allow the mini-spare to be installed with appropriate clearances in the underbody spare tire carrier.
