NHTSA Recall History
1997:
It is possible that the intermediate steering shaft yoke may break, causing a loss of steering control. Dealer will inspect and replace affected parts.
1997:
Rear-axle track-bar bracket can separate from frame due to missing welds or inadequate weld penetration; axle can move laterally until tires contact frame or wheelhouse.
1997-00:
Bolts that attach trailer-hitch assembly to frame could lose their clamp load; hitch could then separate from vehicle.
1997-02:
Cruise-control deactivation switch may overheat, smoke, or burn.
1997-2003 Excursion with turbodiesel 7.3-liter V8 engines:
The camshaft position sensor may function intermittently, causing the engine to stall. Dealers will inspect the sensor and replace it with an improved camshaft position sensor.
1997-98:
Certain off-lease vehicles, Canadian in origin but sold in the U.S., have daytime running lights that do not meet U.S. specifications.
1997-98:
Due to insufficient clamp load, lug nuts could loosen and studs could fatigue and fail, creating potential for wheel to separate.
1997-98:
Main battery cable could short circuit, causing loss of electrical supply, or fire.
1999 w/4WD and 17-inch chrome steel wheels:
Due to insufficient wheel contact area with hub, loss of lug nut torque can cause vibration or separation of wheel.
1999:
Contact area between wheel and hug can deform, resulting in loss of lug nut torque that can cause vibration or separation of wheel/tire from vehicle.
1999:
Fuel-line assemblies on some vehicles may have been damaged by supplier during manufacture, and could leak.
1999:
Retainer clip that holds master cylinder pushrod to brake-pedal arm may be missing or partially installed, causing increased stopping distances.
2000:
Cruise-control deactivation switch on some vehicles may overheat, smoke, or burn; fires have occurred while vehicle was parked with ignition off.
2000-01:
A switch located in the plastic cover of the wiper-motor gear case could malfunction and overheat, potentially resulting in loss of wiper function or fire.
2000-01:
Some of the owner's manuals for these vehicles are missing instructions for properly attaching a child restraint system.
2001:
Driver- and/or front passenger-outboard seatbelt buckle may not fully latch. In the event of a crash, the restraint system may not provide adequate occupant protection.
2002 w/2WD:
