1997 FORD WINDSTARTransport Canada Recall #2001120
Defect
On certain vehicles, the front suspension coil springs could fracture when operated in high corrosion areas (where salt is used on the roadways in the winter) for an extended period of time. Depending on the location of the fracture, there is a potential for a fractured spring to move past the spring seat and contact a front tire causing it to deflate.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will install protective shields around the front coil springs.
