“The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) tube broke at the flexible section of the tube on my 1995 Ford E-150 van with a 5.8l engine. The broken EGR tube causes exhaust to leak. Ford currently has a similar recall on 1993 -1997 super duty trucks, NHTSA recall #97v209 (Ford campaign #97s92).”

NHTSA complaint #10109796, filed 2005-02, 95,000 miles“This unit has had two engines, both destroyed by thefailure of Ford part number 389160-s. This is a plastic t to connect three heater hose together that rots in time and causes complete engine failure at high speed. Found in vans with rear heat.
