The 1995 Ford Aerostar has 4 recalls, the most serious being a spare tire that can rub against the rear brake lines when stored in the underbody carrier, eventually cracking a brake line and reducing rear braking ability.
The certification label on these vehicles also lists an incorrect rear tire size. The label specifies a P215/70R14 tire where a P215/75R14 is required, and a tire of the wrong size may not have enough load capacity for the vehicle's rear axle weight, raising the risk of premature tire failure.
