DEFECT #2 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

Posted on: 2004-11-03
Description
On motor homes built on ford e-series chassis, the air filter element material process resulted in an air filter paper element that can smolder or burn.  This change in filter paper composition combined with the configuration of the air induction system, may allow hot carbon particles to contact the air filter element during certain driving conditions that create hot particles.  

Consequence
These hot particles may ignite the air filter element with the potential for air induction system damage or underhood fire.  

Corrective Action
Ford is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign.  Dealers will inspect and replace the air filter element.  Owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or four winds at 937-295-2983.  

Notes
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
