On certain vehicles, Ford has issued a scheduled maintenance guide update which specifies that every 20 000 kms, the steering linkage, which includes tie-rod ends, should be inspected. The vehicle owner is asked to place the tie-rod end inspection procedure supplied with this maintenance guide update in the vehicle's glove box for reference and safekeeping. The vehicle owner is to provide the inspection procedure to their repair facility to help properly identify worn tie-rod ends. Performing the vehicle scheduled maintenance, including maintenance inspections, is the responsibility of the vehicle owner. Failure to replace worn tie-rod ends may eventually result in a tie-rod end separation that could adversely affect steering control. If the inspection reveals that a tie-rod end is worn and must be replaced, the repair will be at the owner's expense unless the vehicle is still covered by the basic vehicle warranty, or has an extended service plan coverage that includes these components.
Certain pickup trucks do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 120. The tire, wheel and inflation pressure information printed on the vehicle certification label does not correspond with the equipment that is available for the vehicle. The certification label specifies a 15" tire and wheel combination. The minimum load carrying tire available on a 2004 Ram light duty truck is a P245/70R17 and for a heavy duty truck a LT245/70R17.

On certain 645CI cabriolet and 645CI coupe, the sun visor airbag warning label does not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 208. These cars do not have advanced airbags but have the advanced airbag warning label from the 5-series. Consequently, they are missing the warning to "not to sit unnecessarily close to the airbag".
On certain vehicles, the brake hoses are not labelled with a designation that identifies the manufacturer of the assembly as required by CMVSS 106. This non-compliance has no effect on the performance of the involved brake hose assemblies.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Since this does not pose a safety risk, no corrective action is required.
The accessory FJR13 saddlebags cover the original units rear reflectors and must therefore have a reflector installed on each saddlebag lid. The saddlebag kit is supplied with red reflectors that your dealer is required to install during the Pre-delivery service. However, certain motorcycles have been released without having the reflectors installed. This situation results in the motorcycle not being in compliance with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, and the reduced conspicuity could result in an accident causing injury or death.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealer will install saddlebag reflectors.
