The 1999 Ford Econoline has 2 recalls, the more serious affecting utility vans with 60/40 hinged side cargo doors, where cracked door strikers can fail to hold the doors closed in a crash, raising the risk of injury.
The second recall affects certain single-rear-wheel models with specific axle ratios, where an incorrect speedometer gear causes the gauge to read lower than the vehicle's actual speed, meaning a driver could unknowingly exceed safe or legal speeds without realizing it.
